Recommended Posts

I've also use the Neti-pot and it works well I've tried the Saline Solution also both works well. Good Luck!

Pre-admission testing went well today. All set for January 8th! I'm just hoping cold/sinus infection is completely gone. Can't imagine coughing after surgery. I was worried that the surgeon and anesthesiologist would want to postpone .

Neti-pot to help get rid of your sinus infection. It is uncomfortable first time but really helps! I'm using one daily to prevent any sinus infections before surgery. I get sinus funk all the time. I'm also taking a Vitamin C supplement to help.

If neti-pot is too much for you then you can also do saline must sprays.

Thanks! Think I will go to saline spray and add some Vitamin C.

Do NOT use a Neti pot for a sinus infection. It says on the package to NOT use it if you suspect one.

I am in the same shungsleeve. I am not scheduled until Wednesday though so I hope it is gone by then. It came on the 1st so unless the liquid diet has changed things considerably, I am hoping I will be fine,

      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.
