Guest guest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Amy, I have had problems with any kind of liquid meds since surgery. In fact my Dr. tried to give me liquid Loritab in the hospital after my wls, and it was so bad I ended up having to stay in the hospital an extra 2 days just trying to find something I could tolerate. He went ahead and put me on Loritab pills because I could handle it much better. Then a couple of days after I got home I tried to take some liquid Tylenol. It tore up my new little pouch so bad I was vomiting blood. I had to take axid for a few days and go back to soft foods just to give everything time to heal. I can eat just about anything, spices, red meat, you name it - but I cannot do juice of any kind, and liquid vitamins or tylenol or anything like that just tears me up. Hope that helps.
