Have a bad headache all day. Tylenol isn't working. I have my first day back at work tomorrow and I am so down about it and stressed. I just really need this headache to be gone!

Is there anything else we can take?

I had to finally call my doc and ask for something to help with headaches/pain since tylenol is the worst. They gave me tramadol.

Try a hot shower and steam yourself for 20 minutes or longer. I find that often helps. Hope you feel better.

I'll try the liquid.

Isn't Tramadol kind of habit forming? Can you take it at work and be normal?

I fractured my back last year and have taken tramadol every day since. It isn't habit forming and doesn't make me loopy. It's my miracle drug!

Maybe if I took it everyday? I rarely take It. But needed it for incision pain I was still having 2 weeks ago. Besides ibuprofen, it's been the only thing to help with any kind of pain or inflammation. I've obly taken maybe 3-5 pills since I got it filled a couple weeks ago.

Oh, and I have only needed it at night, so I can't comment on the drowsy part.

      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.
