Massive flush with b complex, Vitamin C and zinc and plenty of Protein. Airbourne is also a good product to boost your immune system.

If it is possibly the flu then also go to md and get an antiviral med in addition to the Vitamin flush I mentioned prior.

I'd go see my primary and ask for a z pac. You will be better before the surgery... ;)

I'd save your money on the zpack. You more than likely have a virus and antibiotics will do nothing. Or maybe just allergies? There's plenty of OTC options. You can ask a pharmacist to help you pick the right one.

Exactly what I was thinking. No need for antibiotics at this point unless u have a definate infection somewhere specific. Feeling bad and a sore throat is most probably a virus....or allergies since it is spring.

      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.
