I started a workout program with a trainer at the gym and was surprised at how much I was able to do. Unfortunately, my body was not ready and I have developed bicep and rotator cuff tendinitis from over use (who knew?). Now I am doing PT and they want me to take Ibuprofen which is on the no-no list. Anyone have any recommendations on anti-inflammatory pain killers? I have been trying to tough it out for a few weeks, but it is excrutiating especially when trying to sleep. Not to mention now I am totally depressed about that and want to eat everything! Good thing it is not possible to do that.

Thank you everyone. I have taken tylenol, but from what I understand that is only a pain killer and not so good with inflammation. Liquid or maalox didn't even occur to me! You guys are awesome!

<ul> <li>I am two weeks post op and wondering how to be successful like you have been. How much do you exercise a week? Do you count calories- what is your eating strategy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My band has not been filled so I have no resistance and I am scared to gain weight!</li> </ul>
