So I am sick... Normally I would drink hot tea with honey. But can I do this now since I my surgery?

Thanks for any help

(I am going to call my NUT tomorrow morning but my throat is killing me now and I am hoping to get some relief tonight)

She may say no. Honey is very high in sugar. I use it on occasion, but I can't have artificial sweeteners. Perhaps try a peppermint or herbal tea instead.

Can I take anything like night quil?

I would say yes you can have honey for your tea. Your throat hurts and it will help it, one cup of tea with honey isn't going to hurt. It's when you have that second and third cup, that is what gets you in trouble. Occasionally sure, I have one now and then in the winter months or sometimes when I can't sleep. It's not a every day thing.

I'm not sure. I don't see why not, I have to take Zyrtec daily and I was able to resume them day 2 post op. I would check with the doctor to be sure, but you should be able to.

I've been under the weather a few times since surgery and drink hot

Tea with honey every now and then...it hasn't affected my weight loss one bit...

Go for it..as long as it's not an everyday thing

I know my NUT had some recipes that used honey for sweetner. So I doubt there is any issue with it as long as you don't go crazy with it.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
