Has anyone experienced a cough and sore throat post op? I am curious what I can take for the cough to be able to sleep?

I have not had to take anything since surgery, but my clinic cautioned us to really look at the sugar content. Some cough syrups have a huge amount of sugar and can cause dumping. The told us to look for those that say they are safe for diabetics.

I'm wondering what other June people are able to eat by now. I am still very limited on what I can eat. Mainly yogurt' date=' pudding & soft food. What are others eating?[/quote']

Like you I am eating a lot of Greek Yogurt and I have one protien shake a day. For lunch I normally have a light string cheese because it is so easy to take to work. For dinner though I try to have some variety. I have eaten and enjoyed chicken breast, steak, pork chops, ham, eggs, Turkey meatballs, salmon tilapia, and tuna. All work great for me. Of course I am only eating one ounce!

I guess I've been lucky. I haven't had trouble with anything I've tried. Lately I have been eating a lot of salad but always with a Protein - usually chicken, steak or shrimp. I also do a lot of yogurt and cheese. eggs work well for me. I don't like bread anymore. It doesn't make me sick but sits really heavy. I can occasionally do a flatbread or tortilla.

Hey all you Juners' date=' i have to share this with you.

I work up in a brave mood after purchasing new specs for my ever changing new look. i went cloths shopping in a non- big and tall shop for the first time in 20 years and actually found cloths that fit....shocked the hell out of me.

bought 2 pair of Kaki pants and several polo shits to get me till christmas ....maybe :-)

my cheeks hurt since ive been smiling so much today. i know i still have a long way to go but ill take this victory and savor it for a little while.

im feeling like a bad ass today :-)

OH no!!! Sorry for your bad week! Here's hoping today will be much better and you start healing quick. Keep up with the Proteins so that it will help with healing.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
