What Pain Meds did your Dr. Prescribe?



Recommended Posts

I am curious what pain meds your doctors prescribed. Since it will be in liquid form, I am wondering what is commonly used, particularly if you are allergic to codeine.

Thanks for sharing your experience in this area!

I was not given liquid pain meds, They gave me pills. I was told to crush them up. I started off on percoset and then to vicodin.

Lortab elixer, which is hydrocodone (a narcotic, like codeine but usually less nausea than codeine) and acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Otherwise, just plain tylenol.

If you are truly allergic (not just stomach upset, etc) talk to your doctor about other options.

Good luck!

I was given percocet and some anti nausea pills. The percocet was double strength in the beginning and then reg strength after. I was on these for about a month.

I was prescribed Lortab elixir and an anti-nausea pill (starts with a "p", can't recall at present). Ended up only needing to take the stronger pain meds a few times, so I have half a bottle + 1 refill leftover.

In the hospital I had morphine. I was given liquid Hydrocodone, which has Tylenol in it once I came home.Only took a few doses though.

I got lortab elixir with tylenol as my pain medicine. I only had to take a few doses. The hydrocodone is really a synthetic codeine. I also got Zofran for nausea. I am just taking tylenol now and gas X strips. Colleen

      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.
