Whenever I get canker sores, my best friend is Carmex. Clears the canker sore right away. Not sure if this is a safe recommendation but I have not had any side effects to using Carmex. My understanding is that canker sores tend to be caused by stress, injury, and intake of acidic or citrus foods but this is just my personal guess as I am not a doctor.

I tend to get them around my period or when I'm especially stressed. Right not, my upper lip is one big series of blisters from a sunburn on Saturday.

Good luck!

I usually get tem when im stressed or just getting over a cold. Im not getting over a cold & i dont believe im feeling stressed.

I was thinking since I haven't strated any Vitamins yet, ( doc said to start 1 month out). Im thinking my immune system might be low. I don't no.

Im down 23 pounds & was feeling a lil sexy & cute but not with this lip thing. Lol pulling the covers over my head lol

Diva, I feel your pain! In got the biggest, nastiest cold sore of my life almost two weeks ago. It's finally scrabbling over, which makes it look like I have a leach on my lip. Disgusting! Whenever I introduce myself, I feel I also need to introduce my cold sore since it is its own entity.

. Go to cvs, walgreens etc and buy Abreva!! Works great!!

I found some zovirax that my doc gave me a while ago.

In my experience, Abreva only works if you start applying it the second you feel that tingling. If I don't get it until later, it doesn't seem to help me.

      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.
