What Can I Expect Come Morning, I'm Sick With A Cold???



Recommended Posts

I awoke this morning fighting off a stuffy nose, sore throat and cough and has progressively gotten worse in the day and now the night. Really coughing now and stuffed up. Am I mistaken or misread somewhere but doesn't the drainage tighten the band? I promise not to spread germs.

Try and stay on liquids, light Soups & Protein shakes, SF popsicles, SF jelly while you pass your sickness. I took mucinex dm during my sniffles and it helped me 200 percent. I notice a liquid form of Mucinex DM that might make it easier to take. I cut my Mucinex pills in half to swallow them.

Best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Oh no! That's terrible. Nothing worse than getting sick while trying to heal yourself. Get better soon!

thank you all for the well wishes and suggestions. I feel worse this morning, so stopped up and my cough is worse. I am headed to the dr for hopefully to get something for the cough. I will be on mushies and soft foods as I certainly don't want to get stuck. Thanks again.

Donna

thank you Stephanie for the prayers. I didn't make it to church this morning as I didn't want to make everyone else sick. My coughing has gotten worse and I had to go back to the clinic last night and get a shot for vomiting because my antibiotic was making me sick, so they stopped my antibiotic and gave me a shot for nausea and a shot of Rochephin (sp?). I am feeling somewhat human tonight other than my coughing. Hope to feel like getting out tomorrow. My eating has been out of control today for some reason. Started out with a Fiber One Bar, then a small Wendy's chili with 4 crackers, 4 pcs of white chocolate bliss, dinner was about a half cup of fresh turkey salad and 4 crackers and one triangle of low fat skinny cow cheese spread and just now I had a low fat string cheese. I feel like a cow seeing what all I ate now but I'm hungry as I'm typing this. sheesh. But it's been almost 6 hrs since I ate. Guess I will head to bed and forget about eating...lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
