cough & cold



Recommended Posts

I have a real bad cough and a cold. The cough is the worst! Is there anything cough/cold meds you can recommend?

I just got over a bad cold, and I think what helped the most, besides just time, was Cold-Eeze...I got the "melt in your mouth" version...the zinc supposedly does wonders. I also used Tylenol liquid Sore Throat version. I'm sorry you are sick...it's miserable. Hope you feel better soon! Cindy

Sorry about your cold....I am just on the tail end of a killer cough. To top it off, I have only had my band since 10/24 so everytime I cough I feel like I'm ripping apart all my stitches inside. I try not to cough which of course makes me feel worse. I can't take pills right now, so I've been existing on adult liquid tylenol and dimetapp. Drinking the stuff makes me feel like I'm drinking peppermint schnapps under the bleachers at a high school football game!!! LOL! Oh, well it helps, but it's no miracle cure! feel better soon

Me too!! This sure seems to be the season for it. My cough was so bad I got the narcotic cough suppressant from the doctor just a couple of days ago. It seems to work, but I can't stand the way it makes me feel. I'm going back to Nyquil. :)

I sound like I smoke! Thanks, hope you all are feeling better soon. This stinks! Is there anything that we should not take with the band?

Ahhhh sorry you have a cold. You also might want to try some Throat Coat hot tea, they sell it in the hot tea area. It would help me at night with coughing. I hope you get better soon

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
