Sniffle, cough, sneeze

Six weeks postop, leaving on Saturday for two weeks in Paris, and I have a cold. WAH.

I never get sick. I wanted to lose weight, not my immune system. WAH.

I have too many freaking errands to run today and tomorrow to be still laying in bed at noon. I need a pedicure, for god's sakes! :-) And some mushy food for the plane. And laundry. And innersoles. And, oh yeah, to pack!

My sainted husband ran out to super supplements last night at 8:30 for some hippy natural pills that a friend recommended ... the directions call for taking six capsules every 3-4 hours. If I choke on them say nice things about me, would you?

don't talk to me about pedicures. I need one SO bad I have no nail polish on about an inch at the base! It's hot in Texas and I can't wear sandals until I get one so I'm wearing covered shoes. Ugh.

hey, but at the end of two weeks? PARIS!! It will so be worth the rush right now.

call and see if you are in time to get the post-flu symptom thingy (I sooo forget what it is called). If it is a virus that might help. If it is a cold, fluids and Vitamin C and rest. Hippy pills probably aren't going to help much.

I take airborne. Honestly the best stuff ever! I rarely get sick, but at the first sign of anything I start popping the chewables like a crack addict...lol

Not only does it make me feel better right away, but it gets rid of any cold fast! Good luck! Have a great time in Paris!

Ooo, Airborne, yes! Thanks for the reminder.

Tomorrow I drop the dog at the sitter's, have my 6-week checkin at the surgeon's, get a haircut ... Dude I do not have time to be sick! :-) Yet so far all I've managed today is a load of laundry. The multi-item to-do list is looking daunting.

Wonder if they have Starkist tuna and cheap pedis in Paris ...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
