I use the unbranded version of Feminax. Ibuprofen and lysine work amazing well to kill pain in the body and is available in US & here in UK.

It works very well for Migraines too, hope you can find some relief

Eeeek! That is probably my biggest fear once a month I live on Midol for 3 days and I also suffer from migraines... Tylenol does nothing for me and caffeine personally makes it worse for me.. I'm also pretty accident prone..

The no NSAIDs was a huge worry for me. I have had an Rx for 800mg for 2 years for my period and Migraines associated with neck trauma from a car accident. So my PCP got me into a therapist on staff there that counts as a doc visit for insurance for monthly massages which keep the migraines away. Still concerned with period was sleeved on Monday and started my period today so we will see how it goes but I'm hopeful with weight loss and better diet they will be normal again.

Am I reading this right...and I ask because I suffer from debilitating migraines...your doctor has you approved for massages through another staff member?

Every doctor is different, we are allowed ibuprofen as long as it's not for constant use - twice a month usage for me on bad days has been approved.

we were told no ibuprofen ever. since I am older I was worried about joint pain in later life. so far the exercising has kept the pain at bay. talk to your dr or nurse pract. there are meds for Migraines that are acceptable. good luck to you

Danaymacklin - My PCP office has DO's who are MDs but have additional training in the muscular system and take a holistic approach to pain relief. It's billed as a Doctor Visit on my insurance because it is since they are MDs. Basically the same if I were going on and getting injections. It's something to check out.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
