Post op sinus infection



Recommended Posts

Hello! I was sleeved on 7/28 and everything went well. After coming home from the hospital, I developed a nasty sinus infection that has thrown me totally off. Since Sunday, I have had three different liquid meds to take to knock this thing out but I know I am not even close to getting the Protein and Vitamins I need. So now I'm in panic mode and don't even know what to do. I don't want to eat anything or get out of bed. Any advice/tips to get in as much protein as possible? Also, what vitamins seem to be doing well for everyone? Thanks so much!

My surgery was monday and I am fearing sinus issues. Hopefully it is just from the oxygen.

I hope you recover soon! I tried samples of Bariatric Advantage multi! YUKKKK it has a bitter taste. The Multivitamin fusion is nice it actually tastes like flinstone kids Vitamins. The cherry bariatric advantage B12 and calcium citrate chewable from bariatric advantage are ok. I received samples from my Drs office and the bariatric dept at the hospital. If you can get samples before purchasing a bottle ask for samples!! Your Drs office or bariatric unit at the hospital may have some samples for you.

      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.
