My one and only true dumping experience was at about one week out and from taking liquid adult Tylenol. AND I had only taken MAYBE half of a dose. YIKES! We are all different but I would be very careful to not chug down a whole dose on your first try. Good Luck!

The small amount that you are taking isnt giving you more than a couple of grams of sugar at most. If you are worried about it, break your Tylenol into 1/4's and hide the pieces in sugar free instant Jello pudding and swallow them... it is easier than trying to swallow them with tiny sips of water. I think that there is also sugar free tylenol and liquid meds... ask the pharmacist.

You are very early out and will not be on these meds for long. If you are not experiencing any dumping from these, you should not worry. a few grams of sugar will not hinder your weight loss. You will be fine. :)
