Does anybody have a sure fire way to knock out a cold in three days? I am so upset' date=' Saturday my throat was scratchy, Sunday coughing and sore throat, today worse. I am so worried because my sleeve is this THURSDAY!!! I am sucking down chicken broth, sucking on sugarfree Hall's and staying as warm as I can here at work. I will listen to any suggestions. I don't want my surgery pushed back because of this.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.[/quote']

OMG!!!! I am at urgent care right now freaking out because I don't want my date pushed back either. I am going to see my surgeon for my pre-op orders and diet so I hope I feel better tomorrow.

I hope you feel better & there are no changes on your surgery plans.

I will pray that all goes well.

March 5th is just a day away. Super excited' date=' My surgery is scheduled for 6:30am in Decatur with Dr. Scott Stowers. I made it thru a week of liquids and today has been great, I have had mixed berry clear Gatorade, Water and 12oz of sweet tea. Surgeon said if blood sugar dropped today that it was okay to drink sweet tea ??de1cI weighed in during pre-op and I've lost 19.4 pounds in 1 week on the liquids awesome. Is like to drop the last .6 by tomorrow morning reaching my goal of 20 pounds preop. Prayers for everyone getting sleeved and the beginning of a wonderful journey.[/quote']

I have been drinking Propel flavored (non carbonated) Water. You can get it by the case at Sams Club and in the case it has 3 flavors' date=' like berry, grape, etc. BUT, it's not red or purple, it's clear, so it's perfect for the 3 days before and the first week after, not to mention a good way to get down 64 oz of fluids daily. Tastes fairly good, especially if very cold, so use some ice. It's very refreshing, too.[/quote']

I've never been a Water fan, so I carry around little packets to flavor water. They are calorie free and help me get my water in. I have a bubba cup so I can keep track of my intake.

I hope this helps.

      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.
