hey my pain is on my right side (not the drain side) and is under my rib cage in one spot stubbing to the point I am having trouble breathing but hurts only when I walk and breathe

If you are having problems breathing, that's an issue that a doctor needs to know about

No but I had 4 after mine came to 65 but I have really good insurance one was a pain med that I've never used nor needed liquid form one was for my bowels one was for indigestion and heartburn which I don't have but I take it as a preventive and nausea Patches which I don't use cuz I don't have the issue

I have three scripts liquid Tylenol with Codeine $15, Lovenox $15, and liquid Prilosec (couldn't find this one and it was just a precaution).

I have a pill form of Prilosec I have to take nightly for 2 months. I also have a stomach emptying/nausea pill I have to take twice daily for one more week until it's gone. And OTC liquid Tylenol I bought for pain.

I was given a prescription for Lovenox, which was going to cost me $350. I applied for Extra Help from Medicare, was approved after 2-3 weeks, and now the price to me is $6.

      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.
