It's official. I'm sick.

I have a yucky head cold. I'm sure it is from being so run down and from having a little one in daycare. She brings home all kinds of fun germs. Thank goodness it is Friday and I have a three day weekend to recover. I tried to take Tylenol Sinus this morning and let me tell you..that stuff is nasty crushed. I will be looking for a liquid in a few hours.

Try the liquid dayquil too. . . or if your allowed pills (I could never figure out why not) I was allowed pills from day 1 . . . but whatever, get liquid dayquil and you should feel better soon. . . blessings. . .

I got the liquid Dayquil and the clouds parted, my ears popped, and I could breathe for a few hours until it wore off. Thanks for the ideas!

LOL! Does that make us "sleeve cousins"?!

The dayquil worked wonders but it was a little difficult to get down. The dosage was supposed to be 2 fl oz but I had to sip it over a 15 minute period(G-R-O-S-S). I got about an ounce and a half down and felt off-kilter for about a half an hour. I think the thickness of the liquid along with the meds were a little tough on the sleeve. The neat part was that I could feel that "menthol" feeling all the way down my throat and into my abdomen. It was like having a dose of internal vicks vap-o-rub. It seems nasty to think about it now but it felt great when I was so congested.

      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.
