i didnt cough anything

you may want to call your doctor and let them advise you

i was walking day i got home (granted not far but just a wee bit)

based on how you feel really and what your doctor recommends

I agree I would give your doctor a call there is someone always on standby. I was walking when I got home, you should be walking to, it helps relieve some gas and prevents blood clots from not moving around.

I just spoke with him and I haven't been doing much walking just a Lil walking around in the house but I will get out 2 morrow and walk. He wants me to walk and move around the phlegm I'm probably just getting a cold.

I had phlegm after I started eating food again. Went away after a couple days.

      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.
