Is the liquid Tylanol for adults? I have liquid for my 1 yr old, probably have to take 2 bottles to get a full adult dose though. I've got cramps off and on too. Had an IUD put in before my RNY, so that's another added tummy issue. I should have thought twice about adding potential separate discomfort while recovering from RNY. Dah! Tylanol doesn't help me with cramps. I SOOOOOO miss my Advil!
(I broke my left wrist when I was about 11 ice skating, so that's why I'm so scared about falling)

Hi Kristy,
It's awful the ice and snow right now, isn't it? In addition to having RNY on Dec. 8, I've also had 4 surgeries in the last year on both my wrists...so falling is just not acceptable in my book - I don't want to have to do all that over again!!! I called my dr. He was out of town. But he asked me to describe where (in relation to my hip bone) the pain was. Mine was maybe 3-4 inches below the left side incision. He said it was likely I had pulled the muscle, but that the surgery was probably fine. He recommended putting heat on it.
I have had several days where the left incision area has felt 'pulled' or tweaked. At one point I thought maybe I had a hernia (not that I really know what that would feel like). I've vomited 4-5 times now, and haven't felt anything in my tummy from that.
In addition to being sore from the fall this weekend, I had cramps (yay - being a woman is awesome...LOL). I found liquid tylenol (which we can have!) at the grocery store. It really helped alot!
:)

I haven't lost one single pound in over two weeks.
I can't get my butt out of the house to walk.
I'm having trouble remembering to keep drinking water.
I'm stuck in a funk!

Wish I knew what my problem was cause I'm usually alot stronger then this.

I'll be praying for you!
Did you do that gross drink test with the x-ray machine before you left Med Hat? Did it all look fine at that point?
Take it easy!

Congratulations, you're doing fantastic! We had ice here yesterday in MN too. The roads are still like a skating rink. Drive careful!
