It is good to not be in the hospital but at the same time I miss the great service! All my nurses rocked. I just woke up and feel as is I have more energy already. Pain is 3/10. And only when I move. I hold my largest incision seems to help. I'm not hungry have no trouble getting the Gatorade and or Water down. I have the week off so I'm just gonna take it easy.

Excuse my language but f over ther counter! I am a sufferer and there are several things. Maxalt 10mg sublingual, Imitrex offer a subq self injection or if you want an anti inflam ibrofen type try Toradol also available injection. All these require scripts. But aren't oral so should be ok!

Birth Control?... Possibly Tmi
612belly replied to wikdwich's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had mirena for three years. My doc checked strings 6 weeks after placement and three months after and yearly at annuals. I have never checked for them myself nor can my bf feel them. Everyone is different this is my relationship with the device. Also I have no children, my doc was happy to put it in. I have small fibroids and migraines and cannot take the pill because of the estrogen and the combo pills make migraine suffers more prone to strokes. So it was an iud or the mini pill. My. Preference is to go without however the fibroids make that impossible right now. -
Hi I have a quick question. I know 99 percent of docs say no pill NSAIDs. What about injectables? Has anyone received Toradol which can be given in a large muscle? I'm trying to find an option for my awful cramps. I cannot take narcotics and my beloved Advil! Oh dang! Thanks!

Go ask for a shot of Toradol it's an anti inflammatory. -
Rant - Hard Time With Pre-Op Diet
612belly replied to Scully's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's crazy the brain needs something! -
My thoughts are stop for know until I get the ok to start again. I get really bad cramps I have fibroids that fight with my mirena and it's like a mini war down there. I just wanted to make sure I had An option non narcotic and Tylenol does nothing. I think my uterus laughs at Tylenol!

@zeta the gallbladder comment is to cover for the surgery and time away from work not the actual losing of the weight. -
There should be someone one call!

My story is I had my gallbladder out. -
Sample some isopure rtd flavors. They have 40g of protein a little like crystal light with more benefits. I like alpine punch. Some don't care for them but for pre op it's a savior!
