JUST CURIOUS.....IS IT COMMON TO HAVE YEAST INFECTIONS AFTER SURGERY, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT ON ANY ANTIBIOTICS???

I had a horrible case of oral thrush about a week after surgery. I was on liquid Nystatin and that did the trick. I think it happens...get treated....you'll feel better.

I still have it a month later, nystatin really didn't do anything and I stopped using it. It's very annoying, supposed to see surgeon tomorrow for another follow up tomorrow so I'll see what he says. The first time I saw him he didn't act like it was a big deal or offer anything to correct it. Had to go to PCP. Keeping my fingers crossed it will go away. Tried several things with no luck yet. Still on full liquids. Don't know if that's part of the problem or not.

It happened to me. I know they gave me a couple of bags of antibiotics in the IV so I assumed that is what caused mine. A couple of days after returning home I noticed white Patches on my tongue. Feeling better now.

      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.
