I am having a lot of pain but don't want to take Vicodin. I wanted to know if children's Tylenol will make me dump. I read it has high fructose corn syrup. I'm not sure what OTC Tylenol I can use. Any advice would be so appreciated :)

After my surgery, I couldn't tolerate any pain meds, so I took Children's Tylenol.  It took the edge off the pain and I didn't have any issues with dumping.  It was what my doctor suggested for me, so I don't think you'll have any trouble with it.  Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you. I'm so scared to dump when I already feel so bad.

Any reason why you need liquid?  Why don't you just take Tylenol?

Because my surgeon said no large pills

I think that all depends on your definition of large. I've seen a lot of people say "no bigger than an m&m". That would make Tylenol okay.

All I have is like these huge oblong pills.

My program recommends cutting larger pills in half. That's what I did in the hospital and for the first few weeks.

Any large pills like that can be cut in half with a pill splitter.  Alot of folks do that until they can tolerate a whole pill in one swallow. I understand your fear of kid's Tylenol.  No one knows how any of us is going to tolerate that stuff.  One person may do fine, I would probably be the one to dump..  Feel better soon!  Jane kiss
