as long as you don't have a fever - "usually" there shouldn't be a problem with having WLS

Nyquil and/or dayquil helped me

feel better

best wishes for surgery

good luck

speedy recovery

Zicam works great, check with your surgeon before you take it, but I swear by it. Good luck!!!!

Add loads of garlic and ginger to your diet they are natural immune system boosters

Sassypants I'm would but I'm on the dreaded liquid diet...lol

Oh you can make up a like Chinese Soup lots of ginger garlic and just drink the broth that will all be in the broth anyway.
Then with the veg and chicken if you make it up with that sections off pules up if you want or just section up and freeze for after the op and your later stages in food.

I get sick when I get stressed. Like before my wedding.

Make a tea with lots of fresh ginger slices, fresh mint leaves and fresh lime or lemon juice. Also, on the liquid pre-op diet could you chew/suck on thin ginger slices to get most out of the juice, but spit out the fibers? I do that when I'm getting a cold. It's spicy, but it makes the back of my throat feel much better.
