We all know how you feel.  We have been there, so don't worry I still have those moments all the time!!!  It's like smacking your forehead and saying "I could have had a V-8!"

It's very possible for it to make you dump, and honestly won't do much. I would take the vicoden, even if its only half. If your pain levels get to far out of control you will vomit, and that makes it worse.   Edit: if you decide to only take Tylenol, your best bet is rapid release, but you might want to cru**** into powder first

    

True victory comes at the very end, when you can say, " I lived, and will gladly do it again." View "failure" as a setback, and meet each accomplishment with a larger goal.

Thank you. When u say won't be much like how severe would the dumping be? I can't handle it I already feel like vomiting and have been having diarrhea. I just don't want to take the Vicodin because I need to work in 2 hours.

Sorry I wasn't specific, If your in lots of pain it won't do much. Dumping would be awful and probably delay you to work..... I use a pill cutter, and have a crusher, I don't trust liquid meds, but everyone is different. Cutting a vicoden into quarters might also work

I agree with Jacob.  Don't let the pain spiral out of control.  You need your body to heal and not be tensed up with pain.  Owww!!!!  indecision  Jane

Children's Tylenol is dosed for children (weighing a max of what? 120lbs?) and so you would have to take a lot of it to make sense!

I, personally, have always swallowed my pills, but if you can't or won't do that, then crush adult pills in the correct dosage ...

I'm scared the pill will just sit there or something and I don't think I can stomach the taste of crushed pills right now. Is there any Liquid Tylenol that won't make me dump?

The dosage my doctor told me to take was 20 cc of Children's Tylenol.

If you are having concerns about taking it, though (or whether you would be okay taking a pill), why don't you call your surgeon's office and ask them for their advice?   

I never took anything other than Children's Tylenol once I came home from the hospital (and including my last day in the hospital) because the other pain meds made me sick.  It worked okay for me, but my pain wasn't that severe.
