I would call your Dr. or email them just to make sure. I am sure taking something won't hurt.

Hope you feel better!

just make sure to avoid ANYTHING with asprin or Ibuprofen... nyquil and dayquil helped immensely when I caught a cold a few weeks past my surgery...

What's wrong with ibuprofen? I avoid Asprin because it's a blood thinner, I avoid Tylenol because it causes liver damage. So what does ibuprofen do?

My surgeon says it can cause ulcers in the stomach... and because it has already been compromised... that wouldn't be a good thing... any NSAID medication can cause this...according to my doc... but I am finding that things are different from doctor to doctor...

Never take NSAIDS just Tylenol. I had the flu and they said any cough Syrup without NSAIDs. NSAIDS cause ulcers in stomach and mouth and esophagus. They can cause GERD too. Saline nose spray and nose saline gel for soreness. I use Ayreshire brand nose gel and generic saline spray. I used Robitussin cough syrup with guaifeneson for congestion. The most important thing is STAY HYDRATED even if you don't get your Protein in and rest, rest, rest.

      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.
