Anti-Inflammatory Question!



Recommended Posts

I use an all natural (liquid) anti-inflammatory called Qi Nopal (www.nopalworks.com). I started taking it as soon as I got out of surgery and it helped me heal up quickly. I take it every day as part of my Vitamin regime and it really helps. It even tastes good : )

Was just popping back in to say narcotic pain relief is another option. Does nothing for inflamation, but is an option.

I see someone beat me to it! :)

do you mean like ocycontyn ?? thats script here. i imagine that narcotic pain killers would be very bad for Constipation wouldnt they?? but, you are right, they do work well.

I take motrin and aleve every single day I am two and three months banded no problems. I cant live without them or I would not be able to move. Tylenol does nothing for severe arthritis pain. Its not like its laying in your pouch it goes right down. Im not gonna hurt because I have the band. I just make sure I eat before or after I take them

Oxy is a narcotic, there are many. Yes, the are by prescription, but my PCP understands that I am not to take NSAIDs continuously. They can cause constipation. Just offering up alternatives.

i hear you about arthritis. im not good with it either.. but im managing with osteo panadol. now im just not sure about these tabs after surgery. they are rather large, in the shape of a capsule and i reckon they would worry me. im goign to have to ask the dr about them.

my main attack after lapbanding is the barley green. i know how good it is for easing inflammation in the joints. im hoping that i can get my body back to a more alkiline state than it has been. i now its been so acidic all these years. it needs a good cleanout. ive had barley green before, many years ago. it helped me enormously then. made my skin good and even made my hair shiny. ive bought a kilo of it and have a teaspoon every day. maybe two if i can get it down.

Having to be on meds does make it harder. im glad that your meds dont make it hard for you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
