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.

      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.
