OMG - we really are sleeve buddies. I have a thread in another forum about the same thing. My surgery is also on Monday. Felt it coming on Wednesday and was definitely sick come Thursday. I'm waiting to hear from my case manager.

So, yes. I definitely feel like that! (Crossing my fingers for you.)

I'm trying to make myself feel better by telling myself I might have trouble getting down all the regular fluids plus the extra you should drink when you're sick. Not much, but anything to shore myself up should the news not be good.

Cold Eeze or zinc supplements have always cut a cold short for me.

I had the same problem, thought I was coming down with something about 4 days prior to my surgery. I dosed down on Emergence C and Vitamin C....I was fine so hopefully things are going to be fine for you as well - I can tell you that sneezing and coughing is VERY unpleasant right after surgery.

Definitely rest and get lots of fluid! I'd be careful taking any supplements or medicine. I was told at my pre-op meeting that the anesthesiologist wants us off everything for a week before surgery. My hospital/staff might just be ultra-conservative, but I wanted to pass this information along. Good Luck!

Same thing happened to me 3 days before surgery -- see your PCP for a blood test to make sure you don't have an infection. If it's just a cold, take the extra strength Tylenol Cold and Flu. I felt 80% better the next day and 100% on day of surgery! I would also let your surgeon know ahead of time to see if he/she has any recommendations, especially if you have a fever.

      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.
