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 everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
