I am scheduled for surgery on Tuesday and yesterday I started getting a minor cold just a congested runny nose. I'm scared that they won't operate on me because of this. Has anyone else had a cold right before surgery? Did they operate on you?

Try using plain old saline nasal spray 3-4 times a day. This always helped me get rid of colds faster

I was instructed To only take Tylenol from 1 week till surgery. I been taking Tylenol it just doesn't seem to work. My sinuses are also worse in the morning, during the day it's not as bad. It's very irritating.

Jenna, I read on obesity help that most dr willoperate as long as you don't have a fever I hope that's true.

I would try the saline spray. It will flush your sinuses out. I use simply saline. It's a mist and it works wonders.

      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.
