sorry i seem to ask daft questions ,but when your on the liver diet pre op,is it ok to take painkillers , im currently on co codamol and tramadol,,will that effect my liver during the 2 weeks ,hope someone wise comes along who has been on the same meds,also does everyone worry that their liver will be a prob during the op,im terrified my op will stop cos i was a party animal a few years ago,,,,older and wiser ow ,,,she lies ! lol,,,,just nerves i guess but need reassurance by you lovely people ,x

Perhaps this is a question for your GP or your Weight Loss Team at the hospital. Good question though. Interesting to see the answer. How long have you got to go, are you on the pre op diet now? How are you feeling with it?

Which pre op diet are you on?? I have been on both and I would defo ask your team as I know how strong the tramadol are and taking food altogether of of the equation may make u feel very unwell , so I would check xx

I used the 30/500 Co-codamol like sweeties, and Tramadol for the bad days. Nobody, either hosptal team nor GP ever told me I couldn't take them. With the L&D you have to do the milk diet twice, they stopped my Metformin the first time and never restarted! By the time I had my op, I had nothing left but my Statin. As a "sleever" all I have now is iron tablets. Its a great journey if you don't weaken!!

weakening aint an option love! cant wait to start this journey next month x spoke to gp yesterday and feel much better now ,i can carry on with the meds im on,so thanks all for advice x,only thing i was a bit puzzled about was that the hospital told me to talk to my gp about changing to liquid meds but he kinda laughed and said theres no need,almost felt a plonka for asking ,lol , but only did cos hospital told me too!,,,,,,,cant win sometimes ,eh!
