hope it's not a cold



Recommended Posts

I am less than a week away. My whole family has had this terrable cold but me. I think I feel it coming on. Any suggestions on how to knock it out now. Just runny nose and little chest congestion right now

I got a cold right before surgery. And my doctor said they still can do it as long as you don’t have a fever or other symptoms. I took zicam and airborne religiously before surgery and it really did help. Good luck!

Dayquil and Nyquil maybe. Perhaps Theraflu. I love that stuff. You can just mix one of those packets in with Decaf tea.

There's an off brand that works just like Dayquil but I don't remember the name. They come in gel caps, though. Two for every dose. I think the brand is called Top Care or something. I currently have a cold, my first one since surgery. It went from being a sore throat to what it is now.

Hope you feel better 🙂

It is better. I have been taking Mucinex and Tylenol cold and flu. Now I just feel so dry. I think from having the heat up higher. -20 wind chill here today. I got a victim vaporizer going.

Glad to hear! Make sure you get some zicam and airborne. It cuts the cold in half!

      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.
