Disgusting question: Colds/Allergies



Recommended Posts

Okay post-sleevers, what's the raw truth on colds and allergies post-op?

With all the snot and mucus and post-nasal drip, how does this affect you? I can imagine post-nasal drip easily filling a tiny sleeve...

Colds and allergies are miserable no matter when you get them.

Tylenol Cold Multisymptom is my friend.

Knock on wood, but I haven't been sick very often since I was sleeved.

Keeping up with your Vitamins is important.

I have hay fever in the South. Sneezing, runny nose and eyes. I have finally found a no name allergy pill that has helped me. You sure won't fill y,our stomach with any phlegm, etc. It will be in your lungs. Good luck, I have had no yearly bronchitis in three years since my sleeve.

snot and mucus and post-nasal drip,

@@Fredbear

yeach - really does sound gross LOL

you'll hear many things worse on the board :rolleyes:

i think a cold is a cold is a cold etc

i don't think the cold will effect your sleeve/tummy/nose any different PO

there might be certain medicines that are NSADS that you can't take

good luck with pending surgery

speedy recovery

I'm a lifelong hay fever and other allergy sufferer and I know this will sound so tired but seriously the neti pot and saline nasal sprays have been life changing for me at clearing out congestion.

But when all else fails - sudafed.

      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.
