Hi Renee! 

That's my date, too!  I just started the liquids today, Medifast.  My Dr. told me only to take Tylenol if I had any aches and pains as it will not thin the blood or upset my stomach like the other painkillers will.  Also, be sure to check with his office if you're taking any prescribed painkillers as a lot of those are aspirin based. 

My Dr. told me I could continue to take my scripts, Prevacid for GERD, Zoloft for depression, Advail and Albuterol for asthma.  Be careful what vitamins you take as some will also thin your blood, like vitamin E.  I'm taking a small dose of vitamin C. and a multi-vitamin.

 

Good Luck!
Doreen

Topic: RE: Any future bandsters for 9-18?
I'm being banded on 9/17, and I'm not particularly enjoying the pre op diet.  I think my liver won't be in the way because my stomach already ate it.  Good luck with your surgery.  My surgeon generally sends people home the same day...so I should be able to check in by Thursday.

Hang in there with the preop diet.  It's important because you don't want to have to put off your surgery.  How long did you have to do it?

Topic: what is normal after two weeks?

Hello,
I'm 11 days out and am wondering if several things are normal. I still feel like I need to burp most of the time, but not as much as the first week. And surprise diarreha is no fun. will that get better when I get to eat more solid food? I'd walk more outside if it was more controllable.
