Hi there, I have my band surgery August 13th. Can anyone tell me what type of pain meds do they give you post op and for home too? I don't do good with pain and am worried how I might react after surgery if it gets bad. Thanks xx

My doctor gave me liquid vicodin post op. I took that for about 3 days and then switched to regular Tylenol and did just fine.

Loritab for first 48 hrs. After that, it was a piece of diet cake.

Some ppl have no pain after surgery. Try not to worry about the "what if's".

I too am concerned about pain meds. I've been reading some people have trouble getting pills down; I like the idea of liquid pain meds. I'm meeting with the surgeon on 6 August, that is just one more thing on the list to talk to him about. The list is getting longer and longer, I'm sure glad he's a patient man.

My doctor gave me a non narcotic anti- inflamitory that works amazing and didn't make me loopy

I got banded on Tuesday, he gave me liquid loritab. It's been controlling mine but I have been taking it every 5 hours instead of 6 to keep the pain from kicking in. I hope to back off the pain meds tomorrow.

Great thanks so much. I will try not think about it too much the what if's. I think everything runs through your mind just before the big day. I'm sure it'll be just fine!

I was on Liquid Lortab as well. I only used it a couple times but then again I have a high tolerance for pain.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
