Did anyone else take Advil liquid caps when they left the hospital? How soon after?

Was told no ibuprofen. It eats your stomach. Use Tylenol....you can get liquid.

No ... was told "NO IBUPROFEN-BASED PAIN KILLERS OR ANALGESICS".

It was in big print in the clinic folder.

Adval is a NSAID. One of the common problems after bariatric surgery is developing ulcers. Taking NSAIDs can cause that problem, so it is best to avoid.

The paperwork I received has NO NSAIDS FOR LIFE printed in bold. I was told for OTC pain relief, it should be Tylenol only.

I was told no NSAIDs for at least three months post-op. Even then they still prefer tylenol.

      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?

      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! 😞
