After wls its true about nsaids pain relievers but initially it helps with the swelling. I was given IV toradol in the hospital for a week.

I cannot stomach them at all. Basically I tolerate a very bland no taste diet right now. I did find beechnut stage 1 turkey baby food 1 ounce has 6gm protein which was pretty decent. I'm pretty swollen my surgery lasted 4 hours instead of 1 hour as usual.

Wow demerol? We aren't even stocking that it in our local bospitals anymore because it causes rebound pain and high rates of abuse. Use it sparingly or ask for lortab elixir.

I'm taking one aleve liquid gels which I cut open and squirt into water twice a day about 12 hours apart. My surgeon told me to take it routinely for the first 2 or 3 weeks. Reallly helps. Stronger than advil.

Me too but my doctor is really calm and said as the internal swelling goes down I will be able to take in more. He said to focus on fluids first.
