Don't chase pain. Small sips of Loritab cause of the sugar, You'll be sorry about trying to crush Tylenol. They make a liquid adult strength. kp I wrote this late last night. I was tired and my economy of words wasn't in you best interest. You can chop the pills up. In fact you should because you will metabolize them differently now. Your bypass gives you a big hit right away and the it tapers of sharply after a couple of hours. When I broke my wrist I chopped the pills into quarters. I would take a 1/4 and wait and hour and a half to two hours then another, then wait again up to 3 then again up to 3 and so on. If you don't take enough water it will get stuck down there so take the pill and then a swig of water and hold it in your mouth for a sec then swallow it. Follow that with a couple of sips. A 1/4 of a tablet should be fine. kp

Brittany, I had to dilute my liquid loritab (1/2 and 1/2).  Seemed to take forever to get down, but diluting it helped, although it still tasted too sweet. Michelle

Well what I did was cut mine up into like 6 pieces and then take one every 5 mins. It might help. Sorry that you had problems and as for the liquids sorry I can;t help..

Did your surgeon honestly give you pills?  What the hell?   You can only do liquid right now!    I hated the liquid and actually threw mine away it was way too sweet.    CVS has liquid adult strength tylenol which isnt so bad.   20 pounds is awesome!    Linda
