My surgeon requires 30 days of full liquids and I've grown bored already with the few things I'm eating. I so far am ok with healthwise hot chocolate, sf pudding, protein drinks, and soup but I've eaten the same soup for 6 days. :wink2: Any suggestions?

Hello, I was banded on Friday (10/03/08) and returned to work today. I also have an office job and so far have been feeling fine. I am still a bit swollen and sitting for too long is a bit uncomfortable but so far, so good. Just be sure to bring more than you think you need with you! I brought tylenol and packed a few things to "eat" and was surprised to have finished my protein shake and lunch (soup) already. Good luck to you!

Hello all, I'm 4 days post op and feeling pretty good but I'm noticeing some increasing bruising around one of my incisions. Its only around the center incision and it's yellowed bruising but it seems to be spreading each day. Any ideas???

to everyone for your suggestions. I spoke to my PCP and he gave me prescriptions for the maxalt and wellbutrin. I thought about trying the imitrex injections but my past experiences with imitrex were pretty brutal so I'm leaving that as a last resort (plus I hate shots). All of my other meds are crushable so I'll just be eating my applesauce or sf pudding concoction daily. Lol. Thanks again!

Hello, I am scheduled for surgery 10/3 and have 2 medication questions. I currently take pristiq for depression and excedrine migraine and I know that I'll need to find others. Any suggestions? I know for sure Pristiq isn't ok because it's extended release and not available in any other form. As far as migraine meds, I can't take imitrex so I depend on excedrine but since that'll be a no-no, I'm at a loss. I can't do nasal sprays. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if it's safe to be on Accutane prior to surgery? My lapbnd surgery is scheduled for October 3rd and I'd like to be put on Accutane now to work on my adult acne. My derm's nurse's practitioner was all for it until I mentioned the surgery and then said she wasn't sure if it was ok for this type of surgery. So she gave me about 7 other products that I've been using for almost 6 weeks and they've made my skin worse!!! :embaressed_smile:
