I was told to take only s/f meds, only with Tylenol (acetaminophen). No ibuprofen nor aspirin, as they could damage the pouch, especially in you that are a newbie. Congrats in your weight loss. I have done decaff tea; no problem with that. Get well and keep your good work. Love, Helen blaaas3 <blaaas3@... HI EVERYONE, SURE THIS HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, BUT I HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE COLD AND COUGH FOR 5 DAYS NOW AND CAN'T SLEEP. IS THERE ANY COUGH MEDICINES THAT I CAN TAKE...LIKE ROBATUSSIN DM. I HAD MY SURGERY 45 DAYS AGO, AND I AM DOING GREAT, OTHER THEN THIS COLD AND COUGH. ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS ABOUT CITRICEL. IF I AM GOING REGULAR AND <!--more--> NOT HAVING A PROBLEM DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE CITRICEL? OH SORRY ONE MORE QUESTION... I HAVE BEEN DRINKING LOTS OF GREEN TEA, DECAFFINATED, HAS ANY ONE DRANK CAFFINATED TEA? I HAVE SOME AND JUST WONDERING IF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I HAVE A CUP? I HAVE 34 POUNDS OFF AS OF SUNDAY, AND FEELING WONDERFUL. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SO FAR, JUST ONE DAY I HAD PAINS IN STOMACH, BUT SURE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD TO MUCH GATORADE. HEHEHEHE, I JUST WENT FOR A WALK AND WITHIN 2 HOURS I WAS FINE. ANYWAYS IF SOME ONE COULD ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FOR ME I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

Liquid meds that do NOT contain sugar are very good. I used Nyquil capsules, Dayquil capsules w/o difficulty. For sleeping, liquid Benadryl Check w/ your pharmacist re: minimal amts of sugar in meds. also, pharmacist can tell you which meds can be crushed OK, if you are still on the "crush all meds" restrictions.
