Biotin and pain med



Recommended Posts

What are you guys taking for pain meds, if you have a headache or something that doesn't need a prescription? I tried Children's Tylonel and I could taste the HFCSyrup-gross!!! I also tried crushing tylonel and that was messy and did not taste well with applesause!

Also, finally looking into taking Biotin. I've only seen gel caps. Any suggestions would be appreciated! TIA~!

When I have a headache I have found the best way for me to get it down. I crush the Tylenol and put it in a spoon. I get a sip of sugar free Hawaiian punch tilt my head back open my mouth and put the Tylenol in. I swallow before I ever raise my head back up. I never touch my mouth to the spoon. I barely taste it and then I just continue sipping. It may seem stupid but has really helped me.

My nut says that some people can dump on the liquid tylenol, so I have completely avoided that. I just cut the regular tylenol in half (not the capsules, the hard pills). It is about the same size as my other pills and I haven't had any trouble as long as I cut them in half with a pill cutter.

      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.
