Can I Take A Lunesta If I Dissolve It-I'm Only 8 Days Post Op?



Recommended Posts

I think they said I could when they gave me my discharge papers but really not totally sure. They crossed through my anti-inflammatory medication and told me not to take that but didn't say anything about my Lunesta. Need a good night's sleep but not sure if it will affect me different on my new stomach??? :wub: Thank you!!!

I crushed and drank an Ambien 3 days out of surgery and had no problems, just a great night sleep :)

I bet if you call the hospital and talk to the nursing staff they can tell you. :) Not sure if you are suppose to take that with the pain meds.

Lunesta is a tiny winy pill ... you should have no problem ... I take ambien and took it right after surgery .. I am a chronic insomniac so I have to take it every night ... I really don't think you will have any problems taking the lunesta ... try having a hot cup of tea when you take it so that it goes down nice & easy (& probably will melt right away in your insides as you drink something warm like tea or even some chicken broth or some hot cocoa (sugar free) ) .... happy dreams!

My acid inhibitor pills were normal capsule size and I took them right after surgery. Some pills are time release and shouldn't be crushed.

      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.
