Hi I have a quick question. I know 99 percent of docs say no pill NSAIDs. What about injectables? Has anyone received Toradol which can be given in a large muscle? I'm trying to find an option for my awful cramps. I cannot take narcotics and my beloved Advil! Oh dang!

Thanks!

I think it would be ok. I've had toradol a couple times since surgery.

My doctor said NSAIDS are fine with the sleeve. He said its RNY patients that cannot have them due to risk of ulcers.

I had this conversation with my doctor this week because before surgery 800mg ibuprofen was normal for me to take for autoimmune pain. He said from time to time was fine but my 800mg days were over. This will be something I will have to talk to rheumatologist about.

Mine said I have to stop them for a while prior to surgery as they are hard on the stomach. Must be just if fervent philosophies.

My thoughts are stop for know until I get the ok to start again. I get really bad cramps I have fibroids that fight with my mirena and it's like a mini war down there. I just wanted to make sure I had An option non narcotic and Tylenol does nothing. I think my uterus laughs at Tylenol!

NSAIDS in general cause GI upset, can lead to ulcers, & even GI bleeds, I believe its just preventive action advising patients to not take them.

I take Celebrex, which is a prescription NSAID, everyday and my surgeon okay'd it. I would not have had this surgery if I couldn't continue NSAIDs. I also take Tramadol which is a synthetic narcotic. I know you said that you couldn't take narcotics but maybe these would work for you since it is synthetic? Good luck. I know all about pain.

      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.
