Genuinely sick or just VSG side effects?

morning everyone! 12 weeks out from VSG with a question. The last few days I've been feeling under the weather--cold symptoms, sour stomach yesterday (was only able to eat small amount of soup and tea, and even then, I didn't feel great). I took a half day from work yesterday, but felt much better this morning, so I came in for a full day.

All I've had to eat/drink today is some black tea sweetened with honey (a cold remedy I've used for years). Right after finishing what was left of my tea, I took two Tylenol. Less than 10 minutes later, I threw up and felt almost immediately better.

Do you guys think it was the honey in the tea or the Tylenol? I haven't had honey since surgery, but I nursed the tea for at least a half hour and didn't feel any ill effects until I took the Tylenol. I've taken Tylenol since surgery, but never on an empty stomach.

So, honey, Tylenol, or something else?

What White Dove said....bad idea to take any meds on an empty stomach. It's almost instant nausea for me :-(
