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.

      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.
