What?? I took Tylenol because I was told not to take ibuprofen for 6 weeks after surgery. I am prone to Migraines so I have to take 1000mg of either Advil or Tylenol at least 6 times a month. I am one year out and alive.
Who said you can't take those ever again??

I made a correction on my post. I misread the aid. Tylenol is ok.

You should see a specialist about your migraines. I have had bad ones all my life as well. I finally got a doctor who has given me natural preventatives that help keep me from getting so many. You can buy butterbur at any healthfood store and it does amazing things with lessening the frequency of migraines and then I carry maxalt which melts on the tongue for sudden attacks. You take it at the first aura and it can knock it down before it gets to the wanting to rip your own heart out so you don't have to hear that loud beating anymore phase. That much ibuprofen especially when there are better and more effective treatments just isn't good for you.

      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.
