I was banded yesterday and I am having a hard time taking my pain meds my doctor gave me pills. I have tried breaking them in half but are making me neausa. Any suggestions?

I could take pills fine. If you are having a problem, I suggest you call your surgeon and tell the office you can't take the pain meds given.

Are you in a lot of pain? If you are, then yes, call your surgeons office and request something in liquid form. Most pain meds upset my stomach badly, I have to take them with a full meal - well, that's not possible.

If you're not hurting too badly, have someone go get you some liquid Tylenol. That's all I use(d).

I agree that most pain meds make me nauseous regardless if they are in liquid or pill form. I only took the pills they gave me the first night I was home. After that, I managed on Liquid Tylenol just fine. Also, get up and walk, walk, walk. It feels counter-intuitive when you're in pain, but it really does help!
