Did anyone else take Advil liquid caps when they left the hospital? How soon after?

Was told no ibuprofen. It eats your stomach. Use Tylenol....you can get liquid.

No ... was told "NO IBUPROFEN-BASED PAIN KILLERS OR ANALGESICS".

It was in big print in the clinic folder.

Adval is a NSAID. One of the common problems after bariatric surgery is developing ulcers. Taking NSAIDs can cause that problem, so it is best to avoid.

The paperwork I received has NO NSAIDS FOR LIFE printed in bold. I was told for OTC pain relief, it should be Tylenol only.

I was told no NSAIDs for at least three months post-op. Even then they still prefer tylenol.

Exactly this.

      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...

        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.
