They told me to discontinue prior to surgery because I would need the pain meds to work. In my experience they don't/won't work any way.

I read where many people were given liquid norco. Is that the norm? I know I used to be a major pill popper too. I have zero desire to do that again tho. I just don't want to hurt terribly bad. Why tailbone? I also have a hiatal hernia being fixed.

Thank you. I was 240 the day I went in. I'm 230 now. Wearing clothes I've not worn in years. I rarely eat - before my preop diet I hadn't eaten in days. And the weight is falling off. My BMI is under 35 now even. So I'm getting my protein in but I can't do those nasty shakes. I guess I look at it as if weight is falling off and I've not even had the surgery yet and I'm not hungry but get my protein in then I should be fine. If for some reason he doesn't think the surgery/liver will work then I'll take that as a sign since I've been debating this back and forth. I'm not certain it's the right thing. I'm about 20 lbs away from being happy with my weight with my overall build.

I pray someone replies. I'm going to stop suboxone 5 days ahead. I've had to stop for dental work before and as far as addict behavior I had NO problems. The problem was they didn't make a pain medication strong enough. Once you take suboxone I don't know that pain meds ever work again. I tried oxy, and morphine and it didn't help. I'm thinking I'm going to hurt bad!

I am sept 14!!!

I'm on suboxone and quitting 4 days prior. However my surgeon said he won't be able to give me anything that breaks through that barrier and prevents pain. That is one thing I'm nervous about. Knowing I'll be in pain. Anyone else out there on suboxone?

I'm 10 days out. I barely eat anything as it is. I don't know why I'm not thin. But I'm not into this protein shake mess. It's nasty. So I just don't eat much. I do eat what is on the list when I do eat tho. Anyone else not be 100% perfect preop?
