Recommended Posts

Going on a week and half of this, I don't know, bronchitis junk, constant coughing, blowing my nose, fever etc. Anyway, I can hardly eat, it's making my band tight with all the drainage going on, I'm having to resort to soft, mushy, Soups type of foods as if I've had a fill. Have been to the dr and have gotten an antibiotic and precrip cough med but its not helping. Eating tonight, got stuck, threw up, ended up drinking some hot tea. Guess it will be chicken Soup tomorrow-twice! sigh. And it is supposed to be so nice here in Western Ky and I so want to get outside and walk but just not up to it, no energy. Dang it!!!!

Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather.....I was banded two days ago and came home with this crap that sounds like what you have. I remember reading a post on here who said she went in sick or getting sick and it made her recovery worse. Well, I had a little cough but not anything to worry about or so I thought and now I am miserable trying to cough with my new stomach art work...LOL. But it will pass.....I hope you are better soon too. Take care.

I hope you feel better soon! I had that junk about 3 weeks before surgery. I was so scared that I'd have to put off my surgery because of the cough. Luckily, it went away before surgery, but I hadn't been that sick in a long time.

      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.
