Topic: RE: 6 weeks post-op
Way to go on the 25 lbs Jaynak!! I'm 2.5 weeks out, and doing good! Finally started soft foods, having a lot of trouble eating much, but for the most part feeling really great. I agree on the whole needing to get back to work thing, I'm starting to go stir crazy after being off for a month, but I go back on Tuesday. I swear, I've never been so excited to eat cottage cheese as I was when I was allowed to go back to foods!
It's great to see positive results after surgery isn't it?

Topic: RE: Liqud Tylenol??
The hospital gave me pills, but I crushed them myself because I was worried I couldn't take pills. My doctor said it there should be no issues when I swallow my meds, so after 2 days I My doctor gave me a pain prescription (I only took it for about six days, after that I didn't have pain), so I didn't need tylenol.

yes I agree with everyone else...the liquid is nasty!!
as soon as you are able to, switch to pills. I was switched to pills while in the hospital aswell.

I see that your surgeon is Dr. Malik and I believe that he requires his patients to have all their pills crushed (at least while in the hospital). I don't know how long that lasts for.

The one that they use at the hospital is the infant tylenol (80mg/mL). They were giving me 8mL of it at a time and you only get 24mL in a bottle so it's only good for 3 doses. It's pretty expensive to keep using but if you buy the generic (Walmart, Superstore or whatever other brand you choose) that will bring the cost down a little. It's not very good and I was glad to get home and be able to just take extra strength tylenol, no one told me I had to keep taking the liquid or even if I was suppose to crush the pills so I just took them whole.
