Sugar-free liquid Tylenol?

My Roxicet is running out this weekend, and I had a friend go shopping for me for sugar-free Tylenol liquid, but it looks like it's hard to find an exact match.  The adult liquid Tylenol ("cherry blast") contains high fructose corn syrup, and the kids' stuff, although sugar-free, comes in flavors like bubble gum . What have others used when it comes to Tylenol/acetaminophen liquid post-op RNY?  I'm not diabetic, so maybe there's not enough sugar in the non-SF "cherry blast" to worry about it causing dumping. Any recommendations would be helpful, including generic or pharmacy house-brands of acetaminophen SF-syrup. /Steve

My surgeon did say yesterday at my release that the Reg Liquid tylenol should be tolerated just fine. I am stlll in lots of pain and soreness so I am still doing my liquid Loritab right now. I am hoping to get off of that soon and get swithced to the Tylenol. PS. my incisions are already starting to heal because they itch! I just hope the pain/stiffness goes away soon. Thanks.

The liquid pain meds my surgeon prescribed for me made me start to  about a week after surgery. I switched to Extra Strength Tylenol Rapid Release Gelcaps. These disolve quickly with only a little water so I tolerated them fine. Linda

I was able to find a Tylenol Quick Tab.  It was a 500mg chewable tablet.  It came in a 2-box package that I got from WalMart.
