Keep taking your Multivitamin, I don't care what people say I use airborne when I feel a little sneeze commin on. Get plenty of rest and some people have had huge success with zicam I have never tried it though. Stay positive and try to get rest!

I wouldn't think it Would be a problem. It's just Vitamins and minerals and it's in Water so you should be good.

I use Zicam and it is amazing. It might help now but you are supposed to take it at the first sign of a cold. It's not something that should be a problem before surgery since it is zinc.

I love it. I wouldn't trade this job for the world. My patients are yet another reason I can't wait to get this done and get to feeling better and doing more for peeps.

You like the CCT stuff? I can't wait to get into flight medic stuff but CCT is kinda same line of work.

Yea I like it the only thing that sux is that we r taking critical Pts so if shit hits the fan in the back there's like no room to do stuff. But get to see a lot of really cool things! Especially working Camden.

      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.
