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 ...

      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.
