Why can't you take pills? Maybe I missed that part. I have taken pills since I was sent home from the hospital after my RNY. Sometimes it's not easy, but I can get them down. The only pills our systems can't handle are enteric coated pills and time-release and NSAIDS. I also had liquid tylenol with codeine and Lortab and both went down fine and were not so sweet that they made me sick. I'm so sorry you're having so much trouble and I hope you get it figured out.
