HAs anyone taken any sort of PMs to help them sleep with a headache or a cold? I'm 5 weeks out and I know I'm to avoid NSAIDs however if I can find a non-NSAID PM, could I take that? Obviously I know the doctors okay is the end all say all I just didn't know if anyone else had experience with this. Thanks! Hope everyone has a spectacular weekend.

Ps. I have lost 3 pounds this week after breaking my stall (:

I have taken advil PM. It settled just fine and gave me a couple nights of blissfull sleep. I am six months out though so I'm not sure if it would be an option at five weeks out.

Hope that helps

((Hugs))

My doc said it was ok for me to take Unisom for sleep. I take the generic version. Good job on your loss.

I use Children's liquid Tylenol for any pain or headache. It doesn't work as well as an NSAID, but is better than nothing. You might could try melatonin or Valerian root to help with sleep, those are herbal and don't affect the stomach.

I had my 4 week post op on Wednesday and my doc said pulls were ok now and that Tylenol PM would be fine.

I was more excited to hear I could take a laxative pill though. ;0)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
