We can only have Tylenol... Acetamenophin products. Nothing with Ibuprofen in it.

Thank you. I bought CVS Midol and it only has Acetamenophin. I had to cut the pills in half but it was worth it. The caffeine made me a little jittery but besides that I was much happier.

Omg, I got my frist post op period, and i tried to take a Tylenol pill, I grinded it and everything, it was a no go, So my husband brought me home so CVS brand liquid pain killer which I was also unable to get down. I spent Christmas Day in pain. Finally I had to take to the bed with and heating pad, and some CVS menstrual cramp relief pads...

OMG, I'm not looking forward to my first post-op period. I know the surgery messes with the cycle. Already a few days late so any day now. I saved some Lortab (liquid Vicodin) from recovery just in case. Lol that was good stuff!

      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.
