I take Amian CR 12.5 mg, just asked for something else. Doesn't help very much.

I've been on ambien 10mg for years. I'm 2mths post op and have never stopped taking it (my surgeon said it was ok). As a matter of fact, I'm not suppose to swallow pills whole but that one is so small, I have no problems with it. I tried crushing it at first but it is HORRIBLE!!

I take 12.5 and have taken it throughout my whole sleeve journey,and some times I cut them in half and take them it seems to work just as good but the amount hours I sleep is cutdown some. I think you will be ok but I'm not a doctor of course. I have been taking Ambien since 2008 ,and I have never had a problem with it.

      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.
