I went straight from an iv Morphine PCA pump to pills. First Percocet in the hospital (that I broke in half) and then home on Vicodin pills which at first I broke in half, but they went down whole fine too.

I was placed on tablet pain medication the day after my RNY and resumed all my previous medications in tablet and capsule form as soon as I was discharged home, 2 days post-op. My surgeon does not use liquid or crushed medications. I had no problems at all. Good luck!

Careful with some liquids. They have "hidden" syrups. I understand some of them have sugars (hidden ones) and thats why you have a hard time with them. Diabetics can often handle it but bypass cant.

I had a lap roux-n-y and was on morphine and Torodol in the hospital. Then I went on the liquid vicodin. They gave me a script for it and I stayed on it for about four days. Then I only needed it at night for another few days. Seven to ten days after being home from surgery, I was off pain meds.
