well I have to say that at this point in my band journey I get so tight its crazy. My back hurts so bad I can not stand up for very long. best thing that helps me is liquids per my nurse and cvs brand tylenol arthitis strength. I really notice a difference when I take it. those who know me know I hate being on liquids!!

I just had this issue myself. I took regular Midol that contains acetaminophin and caffiene. They also have a new version made with naproxen sodium (the stuff that Aleve is made from).

Stay away from anything that contains ibuprofin because of the risk of ulceration.

Can I have aleve now? I know I couldn't before surgery but what about now? I need to call my dr tomorrow and ask but that doesn't help me now while I'm all cramped up! Sigh

Sorry i should have clarified..i was just saying that they have the aleve version so that you make sure you read the label and get the right one.

      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.
