I think it depends how far out you are ? I purchased liquid tylenol for use post op. Crushing time release tablets may make it work faster than a regular old aspirin pill or something, maybe a half is good, or 2 regular tylenols instead crushed. could just also put it in dilliuted juice and get it in your system quicker than in a shake or what have you.

Cool, I have 3 days until surgery the 11th, can't wait to be on the flip side of that and all.

If you were a few months out I'd ask why you don't just take a pill, I guess that aleave would be good then.

I suffer From Migraines. I suggest hydrate. Hydrate! I finding drinking Water helps a lot. I hated water though. It's my friend now. I give my son coconut water after sports for his. I was recently sick and water with sea salt 1 tsp per bottle helped. Made a Gatorade like drink. But caution that check with your physician about using salt/ if blood pressure issues etc. I works for me.

Thanks everyone. I wound up going home and going to sleep and headache was gone this morning I think it was a combo of the heat at work. We have no windows and it was warm and the air was broke. Also it was damp and raining. My 3 out of the 5 of us had headaches

      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.
