Mine said advil was fine...if I had trouble with the pills, just use liquid. I dont have a problem with the Advil or Tylenol.

The best thing for any headache is Water and no screen (TV and computer!)...but on occasion I do take liquid or chewable advil. but I have never had any stomach problems. Tylenol is better if you have ever had ulcers or gastritis.

this is what id like to know as well.. i have issues with joint pain. i did read somewhere that the gas that causes some issues afterwoods can also cause some joint pain as well. i really need to be able to take some pain meds that are liquid. not sure what we can buy here in australia. im going to have to talk with my chemist about that one. also, i take olmetec, which is meds for hypertension. its in tablet form and it gives me mild indigestion now.. so i dont know how well its goign to go down after surgery. i have to take two tabs a day. i was thinking i would need to crush them .. does anyone else have to do this?? there must be a lot of people who have this surgery who cant swallow whole tabs.. at least in the short term after surgery. Any input for this one please?? any suggestions for liquid pain meds as well?? hugs judych

      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.
