I am all set for my surgery on Tuesday and I am very excited, but for the past few days I've had a head cold with runny nose and coughing. I'm determined that I will get better before tuesday since I've had this since monday. I'm just taking dayquil. Has this happened to anybody else?

The day I flew out to San Diego then on to Mexicali, when my DH and daughter were seeing me off, my daughter had a very wet cough, stuffy nose, etc. I just knew I would get sick and not have my surgery, but for some reason, it held off till I got home. So, I have it now, and it is almost gone. So mine really only lasted a week. Hopefully you will be ok, too!

Good Luck!!!

It seems everyone is getting sick lately! I think it's because we had a day or two of mild temperatures and then it's crap again. Well, it's been 6 days so far. I am taking today off of work to recoup since I don't want to creep out my patients with my coughing and boogery nose. lol I am keeping positive. This is the first time I'm actually looking forward to summer!

Happening to me right now. My surgery is scheduled tomorrow and I started with those symptoms yesterday. Guess I will get some dayquil when I go get my gas x latter today. I am flushing my sinuses 2x day in hopes of preventing it from getting worse.

Yeah, I'm keeping up on my dayquil until tonight. I feel alot better than I did over the weekend so I feel better. Stressing out over it probably didn't help. :P

I just took Dayquil and Theraflu. Hot brothy Soups and tea seemed to help too.

      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.
