My two cents worth: Gastric Sleeve: March 2014 Over time - occasionally, I HAVE used baby aspirin - two at a time. I eat a small piece of plain toast, then - one at a time - dissolve a baby aspirin under my tongue and just let it 'trickle' down. Have had no adverse effect whatsoever. I have also used gel caps advil, AFTER eating (again) a small piece of plain toast. This is not on a daily basis - only when I absolutely NEED it. Tylenol, unless it's baby liquid, just does not work as well for me, and even then not as good as just plain aspirin or advil. Overall - I've done this, maybe, 2 dozen times. I have a broken back, that is slowly causing my spine to slide to my right and affect my hips. Hope this helps - or works for you! PS - I don't know how to work the weight tracker (I've tried) I've lost right at 102 pounds.

I am SO glad I saw your question and the wonderful - helpful answers. I also will be home alone - with three dogs - I've done all the laundry, cleaned the house, put their food up on one counter, and mine on the other. They have a doggy door and a BIG yard, so no worries there......and I was trying to decide between recliner and bed, so it's recliner for sure. My surgery is 26March14.....and I am SO ready! Thank you!

Hi - My surgery will be 26 March 14. Even tho no pre op diet was needed, I decided to go for it, starting today - liquids/protein/etc - on my own. So far - so good. My biggest concern is that I live alone, with my girls (dogs) ... I do have friends who will drop by and help the first few days and I've put all of the dog's food and their bowls on the counter - along with mine, but still - I think that's what I'm most concerned about?
