Cold Medicine - Wouldn't you know it, finally feel better from surgery, now I have a bad cold



Recommended Posts

So, I finally feel a lot better from surgery, feeling great as a matter of fact then wham super bad head cold that knocks me on my tail. I normally take Nyquil for colds, should that be an issue once you are sleeved? Any suggestions?

I caught a cold/sinus infection 3.5 weeks out. I was able to take tylenol cold/tylenol allergy caplets (spelling?). They went down fine, just drank it with a bit of water/fluids. Doc said as long as its about m&m size it should be fine.

I got a sinus infection 2 weeks after surgery. I was taking Mucinex D (behind the counter with the pharmacist) and using a neti pot with distilled Water and salt to help with the congestion right after a shower, followed by afrin spray. I helped so much and I'm almost back to normal now.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
