I was like wtf when I read that too. NSAIDs right after surgery.. it's not a bypass but still..

It's on my list of meds they don't allow after surgery too.

You dont swallow it. You unloosen the capsule and put it in a spoonful of yogurt.

Idk if this is normal but my surgeon is ok with me taking pills. It seems odd since my popsicles and yogurt can't have lumps. I have so many pills to take. This outta be fun!

Idk, my surgeon recommended Aleve because I would only have to take 4 a day (am/pm). It's crazy how everybody's post care instructions are a little different. Fir example, I'm not allowed to take any Vitamins -- not even a Vitamin Patch -- until I get my 2 week ok from the doctor and I was put on full liquids the day I left the hospital.

NSAIDs will cause issues with the lining your stomach- especially if it gets stuck in your staple line- definitely shouldn't be taken for at least three months after surgery- my doctor didn't allow Vitamins either until week 3

I was told Aleve could cause an ulcer and to stay away. I'm on Xarelto anyway so I can no longer take it.

      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.
