It's not allergies. Saw the doctor today and they told me I had a pretty bad cold. I am running a low grade fever ranging from 100.7 to 101. They gave me a z-pack and Tessalon pills for cough. I'm hoping I can take some NyQuil tonight so I can sleep. Any body taken NyQuil after getting the sleeve?

I had blood pressure issues before surgery. After surgery and 30 pounds down and it was finally in a good range. I took nyquil and about 10 minutes later I had a blood pressure spike. My pressure jumped up but my heart rate dropped. Turns out after surgery I'm allergic to the decongestant in nyquil. Never thought about it since before surgery I never had a problem. If you do take the nyquil (and my doctor approved it for me) just keep an eye on how you're feeling. I've discovered that since surgery meds hit me differently so when I take something now I keep an eye out for new reactions. Just putting it out there for those taking meds again for the first time. :) It's something I never thought of.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

      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.
