Hello, biotene mouth spray(sp) its for dry mouth and some other things with the mouth. It's in the area where the mouthwash is. I think you can find a pill crusher at cvs walgreens Walmart. I will look for the liquid tylonel Monday.

I found my pill crusher at Walmart over where they have the pill containers that you can put your pills in for every day of the week. Haven't looked for the liquid tylenol yet but it will be a generic brand as tylenol doesn't actually make it anymore

Wow that was quick. I probably could of had it already but my first appt was beginning of July and then I was away at a grad class for a week then 2 weeks down the shore. So 2nd surgeon appt was not till August. Got out of the sleep study and cardiac stuff. Just met with the doctors and got signed off of those. Plus could of been a week earlier if my pcp didnt drop the ball and sent her letter in when she said she would.

What are you packing for the hospital?

Haven't even given it a thought. Hospital says don't bring cell phones, etc but my hubby is dropping me off and going home with the kids so I have to be able to call people to let them know I'm ok. I was told to bring a small pillow to hold against your stomach while walking and getting up. Plus I'm a baby and I always bring my own pillow to sleep on.

I think I have EVERYTHING! broth, Popsicles, Isopure's, mio's to help the Isopure's, baby spoons and little dishes, mug warmer, heating pad, Biotin, gas-x - I feel a little OCD!!

I am nervous but excited in a tummy rolling mix! Best wishes to everyone for fast painless healing!

Crystal light I also had some clear liquid Protein drinks that were not so icky sweet. Carmex was my friend . In my hospital

They had these things that were like baby wipes but bigger they called them bath wipes .Ask for some extra you can bring them home and warm them in the microwave they are heavenly. I love freely fresh and clean and the warm felt great

      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.
