What kind of OTC liquid pain meds



Recommended Posts

My surgeon recommends a Flintstone's chewable every day--so I'm using Bugs Bunny (on sale)! Still has the same % of daily allowances... I don't mind them a bit!

I've read in a lot of other weight loss surgery forums that people get the Viactiv soft chews for their Vitamins and Calcium. I haven't tried them because I was concerned how much they break up before you swallow it ..like does it melt or what? I don't want to swallow some taffy like substance and have it get lodged in my band ..that would stink.

I love the Viactiv Milk chocolate Calcium Chews--they taste just like a Tootsie Roll. They sort of melt in your mouth. There's nothing to swallow or get stuck in the band. I haven't tried the Milk chocolate Multi-Vitamin yet, only because I haven't seen it in the store yet.

I like flintstones chewable (NOT Flinstones COMPLETE-- these taste BAD). And for Calcium I take tums. Tums has a lot of good flavors, I never realized they were calcium (derrr) I always took them for heart burn. The berry flavor mix is my favorite, and my dad has some tropical mix that is good too. The only flavor of tums I never liked was lemon.

      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.
