I would like to know the answer to this too. Also, can you just swallow a little Ambien tablet, or must it be crushed up?

Yes I never stopped taking. I did have to crush it the first week and it made it work faster than normal. I still take it. I had the bypass btw. No problems at all. It's always better to call your surgeon of course but I don't think it will be a problem

I take Ambien for 7 years literally to LIVE, and sleep. I am very nervous about taking it after and sleeping. I am a CHRONIC INSOMNIA diagnosis with a racing mind syndrome at night. I have another post about this waiting for answer from anyone post op taking Ambien

Hi after I posted I got some good feed back. I have taken ambien for a few nights with no issues Sounds like you are useing it fir more then a sleep aid. I'm sure it works for you. But be aware it is not ment to be a long term medication

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
