What is the trap on either side of your neck you are mentioning?

Lortab... I was told to dilute it with Water half and half to make sure I didn't dump. Did not take it with food. I learned the hard way to not keep taking it every 4 hours round the clock until I saw the surgeon. She pulled my drain on Monday and none since.

Some of our pain can also be positioning pain. Sometimes they have to put us in weird positions so the dr can access where they need to access. In my case I was on the table for 4 1:2 hours, a long time to be in one position.

Hope you feel better soon

"Trap" is short for trapezius, the muscle that runs from the side of your neck down your spine along the shoulderblade.

^ see... two very different answers.

Well, listen to your body. If you have been nauseous lately try the lortab after you have had some Protein.

Trap is short for trapezius muscle. It's the muscle that runs between the neck and shoulder. Sorry that's not the best answer. Not sure how to describe it. I'm trying to attach a picture but not sure it will work...

      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.
