katia 17 Posted March 5, 2013 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.

DanaKay 0 Posted March 5, 2013 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 am scheduled March 19th with Dr. Stowers in Decatur.. I'm excited and so very nervous.

kyeta96 50 Posted March 5, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
