How far post-op are you?

I was able to take Da-quil and Ny-quil when I got sick at about 8

weeks postop. Just sip slowly as these may contain sugar and

alcohol. I took 1/2 dose, waited about 3 minutes then took the

rest. I think Tylenol cold meds would be OK too. I ended up with

bronchitis, so see your doc early for the deep cough.

Feel better!

Hello Lori, you can take Tylenol, have the pharmacist do a liquid suspension,

tell the doctor to write the prescription. 80% of meds come in liquid

suspension, I am going to celebrate 1 year 2/27, and have had no problems thus

far, except throwing up a totala of 5 times. Get to know your own body, and

when you feel strange after eating something, do not try it again, just leave it

alone. I use to love scramble eggs, and tuna fish w/mayo, can't stand it now,

and cannot eat roast turkey, only the deli turkey. take care, and be careful.

Thanks! I did use the Tylenol Cold and Flu but I'm telling ya, if I

have to take another liquid med. I think I'll throw up which would

be the first time.
