Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm set for Wed to have the procedure. But as of last night I started getting a sore throat. Switch to 5am and it's worse and still here!!!! I took Tylenol, not helping! What should I do? I don't want surgery to be rescheduled!!!!!

If you are running a temp or have been feeling achy or hot flashes or chills you need to inform your Dr. sooner than later. He may be able to move you to another date. Irregardless of scheduling you could be putting yourself in harms if you do not infom your Dr.

Alka selzer makes this "tea" like therapy. It's like theraflu. It is awesome. Usually when I start feeling a scratch, I start taking Vitamin C, drinking orange and grapefruit juice or those c-monsters by odwalla! But, you definitely don't want to have surgery when your body is in that weakened/vulnerable state.

Thanks everyone, so far no aches just a sore throat, but it's the kind that doesn't just seem scratchy. I'm going to go to an medi center soon and see what they say. But I will contact the surgeon either way. Thx everyone!!!

Long story short she wanted to get me on zpac 5 day antibiotic to be proactive! So other than feeling weak and lazy I'm just Chillen in bed and using the other home remedies you guys suggested!

      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.
