7 days until my sleeve surgery and I have a bad cold



Recommended Posts

I am so scared my surgeon will postpone my surgery because of this hellish cold! Does anyone have any suggestions on a quick fix for the common cold? I'm on day 2 of this cold so I have 7 days to get better. All you faithful people out there please pray.

See your GP and get it handled. Don't wait. I had a sinus infection going in to my surgery. In fact I spent the weekend before my Monday surgery sure I would be postponed. But they went ahead and did my surgery because my infection wasn't to bad come that day. They said I would be getting antibiotics anyway that would treat my sinus infection too, which they did!

Dear Kking, I'm so sorry. I'm having the surgery on Tues Feb 4th.. So we are close together... I would see my GP right away...just to get checked out... Than start with chicken Soup, OJ...Tea with Lemon, and lots of Water..FLUSH IT OUT.. kEEP WARM and REST...BUT see the GP to make sure it is not something else. Your Surgeon will like that you got checked out... and will feel more comfortable going ahead knowing you took care of that... Good Luck and keep us posted....JewelJ PS.. ZERO. sports drinks.. THEY ARE WITH THE GATORAID.. only ZERO CAL...

      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.
