So I had my surgery on 8/19 and today I wake up with a cold. Can anyone tell me which medicines I am allowed to take? I'm congested, sore throat, migraine, coughing and sneezing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ok thanks ladies! I called the doctor and they recommended liquid Tylenol so I'm headed to the pharmacy now. I thought I was getting better but last night it go worst.

How long was your recovery?
Mz LaLa replied to Mz LaLa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok so the 2-4 weeks is pretty accurate. They also had to remove/repair a hernia as well; And I believe that's most of the discomfort that I'm feeling. Thanks everyone for responding. I feel a lil better now. -
I just had my surgery on Monday and I'm in a lil pain but not much. I'm so bored at home and was wondering, how much time did you have to stay out of work?
-
I was banded on Monday and they found a hernia as well and my surgeon removed it with no issues. It won't prolong my recovery time or anything. It was a blessing in disguise because I only have to do it once. As far as your decision don't allow anyone to sway your choice. If banding is what you want then you stick to that. I wish you nothing but the best!!!

How much have you lost since the pre op diet? If its five pounds it more, you're good. At least that's what I was told when I was nervousness about it.

Ahhhhhh today is my big surgery day and I'm so excited. I worked very hard to get this far and I can't wait to see what I can do afterwards. I started at 273. I wonder what I will weight today. thanks to everyone for their encouraging words during my post op diet. #blessing

The gas is the worst part. Once that passed I've been good. I've been walking every two- three hours; Which helps a lot!
-
The procedure went well and while the were in there they removed a hernia that I didn't know I had. So I am very thankful!!!

My nerves are a mess. I'm excited and so nervous at the same time. I'm about to start a huge new journey in my life and I'm doing to alone. No one knows but the girl who told me about it and a friend that doesn't live near me. Just nervous!!!

Thanks Penny for some post op ideas. I'm so nervous about coming home after surgery because I don't want to mess up. I'm going to write down your great suggestions. Thanks again for sharing!
-
So my date has been confirmed. I'm on day 7 for the pre-op diet and it has gotten easier but I'm nervous scout after surgery. Like having the right things to eat. Any suggestions?
-
Thank you so much. I have been thus far. When I get weak, I look at this dress I'm waiting to wear. Lol I just didn't think it would be so hard not to eat food. Lol
-
Whew! It has been a long battle and I'm only on day five. I get full but when I smell real food, I'm craving and it's like torture. So I've been staying away from the kitchen, cafe at work and restaurants.
-
So I finally have my surgery date and I'm on day two of this Optifast, I'm struggling. Will this get easier for me?
-
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I'm hoping that I do shed a few pounds prior to the procedure. I do see that today is a lot easier than yesterday. I think I may trade in some shakes for bars. I think that maybe my issue that I only ordered shakes. No bars or soups. I'm going to keep pushing. This is a lifestyle change so its one day at a time.
