I've only had one chest cold, and I'm still dealing it.

It's also that "season" for colds/viruses. I've heard a lot of people taking Echinacea, and extra Vit C and zinc to help ward off germies.

well that's true about season. i guess just worried about getting dehydrated. usually don't take in enough liquids on a normal day as it is. hopefully tomorow will be a better day as far as my throat. one of my nurse friends called me today and said "Laura, do you need me to bring some iv fluids down to your house?" of course i said oh no, i think i will be fine!! how do i really know. i absolutely feel horrible... well good night. going to lay down. thanks...

They make a product called Emergen-C which is a powder you put in Water it has 1000 mg Vit C and other anti-oxidents. Just know some people don't like the taste - it does not make your drink taste sweet. But you can add it to water and also add like Crystal Light, etc.

Perhaps go to doctor and get your blood work checked. Get enough sunlight. Stay outdoors as much as possible during the day. I would think losing so much weight so fast would effect immune system. Maybe change your diet for a while just listening to your body for what it needs/is asking for. Extra rest.

That is what I'd do.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
