Tylenol extra strength on my days off, unfortunately when at work, It's heating pads only (I work nights and pain meds make me drowsy)

Tylenol extra strength for me too. I get bad cramps too (I have endometriosis) and it gave me some relief (until it wore off then I'd take 2 more).

We aren't allowed to take Midol or Pamprin after surgery??

I'm just wondering, because Midol is my savior..my first day of my period is horrible, with cramps, goosebumps, and lower back pain.

From my knowledge, there are a few variations of Midol; some are NSAID and some aren't. This can easily be found out by checking out the bottle when you're at the store. I believe Pamprin is an NSAID but again most of the meds say right on the bottle very clearly if they are an NSAID. Hope this helps.

When it comes down to the time of the month I am a rule breaker...I have a bottle of Midol by my side. If I am out of Midol its Pamprin. I get really, really bad cramps from my PCOS and horrible back pain from the period of death so the Midol helps a lot to which Tylenol doesn't help one bit.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
