Hi Everyone! I am 15 days post-op and feeling pretty good. I have one question I have tried taking tylenol by cutting up a tablet in to 4 pieces however it gives me a terrible stomach ache. What does everyone do for headaches or just body aches?

Thank you for any suggestions!

I crushed everything at that point and took it with applesauce or yogurt...I don't take any Tylenol or pain med on an empty stomach.

If you have the tablets you can crush them and mix them into food, like Iowa_summergirl mentioned. Otherwise, liquid Tylenol might be your best bet.

My doctor recommends liquid gel caps and those have worked great for me!

      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.
