In terms of locations for concealment - I guess you could always get one of those small bottles of OTC pain meds, like GENERIC tylenol (so no one expects the pills to have a Tylenol Imprint, and replace the "regular tylenol" that came in the bottle with your special "EXTRA strength tylenol" and put the bottle in your purse/shoe/sock/anywhere accessible post-op. In the REMOTE chance that someone finds them, recognizes them, starts asking too many questions, etc. - just make sure you leave the prescription bottle with your name on it at home in an accessible place for your husband to get in case you have to show someone at the hospital that you have a VALID prescription for them and you are NOT illegally possessing them.
If for some reason you can't reach the bottle post-op, you could ask your hubby or an orderly for your "tylenol" and he won't know that you are taking your "special EXTRA strength tylenol" if you don't want to get into explaining it to him now.
I'm not advocating hiding extra hydro usage from doctors or family members, but IMO now may NOT be the best time to "come clean" with all this stress and pain going on in the hospital with surgery. You can always tell him or your PCP, etc. if you decide to AFTER you're out of the hospital and the stress of this situation is behind you.
