Tylenol use to make a liquid pain reliever but it's been recalled but if you are near a CVS Pharmacy they carry their own brand of this liquid that is in the aspirin isle. I bought some as a "Just in case" measure before my surgery and have actually used it a few times instead of the liquid pain killer they gave me. You may want to call your surgeon just as a precaution first to see if this is anything to get a handle on. My surgeon's motto is "there are no stupid questions". She also gave me her personal cell phone in case I had ANY issues that arose when the office was not open. Good luck on your recovery and journey.

I had that headache just after surgery too. I found that what helped me was drinking a tiny glass of lower sugar apple juice. Within fifteen minutes after that, it was gone until the next morning. I would ask your surgeon too. I found that I felt better once I stopped the pain pills. You may also want to get liquid tylenol. I hear it has been recalled by you can get the generic brand at CVS.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
