My surgeon said not to swallow if bigger than standard pencil eraser. This hydrocortisone pills were enormous so I went to target and got junior chewable Tylenol. No added sugar, tastes like a bubblegum and I feel okay... Unfortunately it doesn't kick me out, but I have my old pal ambien for that :) Surprisingly I was in serious pain only the day when I went home, since then I'm on tylenol. Issues with Water intake are still serious, my doc called and reminded me to drink as much as I can... Well, I could do 25oz yesterday and about 30 today... Protein intake sucks because it is another liquid.... I tried Isopure water protein and it tastes like a Poo. Capital P poo... Ugh... I really wish I could have tuna salad on cracker ;(

Yes, you can. Your office can call the pharmacy with prescription or you can get liquid or chewable children Tylenol. It works for me. I've been told that there is a place far far away, where I can buy chewable Tylenol for adults, but I haven't found it yet. :):):):)

I've been thinking about you! I'm sorry to hear that but I'm glad you were still able to have your surgery! Take it slow. Don't push yourself to hard so you can heal properly. Keep us posted!

Thank you so much for thinking about me. I am taking it slow for sure! Ive got 66staples so I have to.

Welli stayed in the hospital a week n came home tues. I then started my 2nd stage of food which is, fudge cycles ,puddings, and any kind of creamed Soup. (tomatoe,chicken mushroom). So i'm good with that. Today I got up n ate pudding for Breakfast n 1/2 can soup for supper, then a fudge cycle for snack tonight. I've felt satisfied..

So everything is going good, n will bee better wen my belly heals. My family just don't do things around the house like I do. Lol

Hope all my other surgery buddies are doing great. God bless.

What kind of Protein shots did you get? Idk if I told you my Mom had the same surgery you did in 1992 and she's still doing great! Her Dr. Wants to post her before and after in his office. I'm still trying to convenience her. The scar doesn't look to bad either. I'm so glad you are doing good!

      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.
