I use the unbranded version of Feminax. Ibuprofen and lysine work amazing well to kill pain in the body and is available in US & here in UK.

It works very well for Migraines too, hope you can find some relief

Eeeek! That is probably my biggest fear once a month I live on Midol for 3 days and I also suffer from migraines... Tylenol does nothing for me and caffeine personally makes it worse for me.. I'm also pretty accident prone..

The no NSAIDs was a huge worry for me. I have had an Rx for 800mg for 2 years for my period and Migraines associated with neck trauma from a car accident. So my PCP got me into a therapist on staff there that counts as a doc visit for insurance for monthly massages which keep the migraines away. Still concerned with period was sleeved on Monday and started my period today so we will see how it goes but I'm hopeful with weight loss and better diet they will be normal again.

Am I reading this right...and I ask because I suffer from debilitating migraines...your doctor has you approved for massages through another staff member?

Every doctor is different, we are allowed ibuprofen as long as it's not for constant use - twice a month usage for me on bad days has been approved.

we were told no ibuprofen ever. since I am older I was worried about joint pain in later life. so far the exercising has kept the pain at bay. talk to your dr or nurse pract. there are meds for Migraines that are acceptable. good luck to you

Danaymacklin - My PCP office has DO's who are MDs but have additional training in the muscular system and take a holistic approach to pain relief. It's billed as a Doctor Visit on my insurance because it is since they are MDs. Basically the same if I were going on and getting injections. It's something to check out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
