My surgery is scheduled for February 4th. I had a UTI and am currently still finishing antibiotics. I also had a strange GI virus , no vomiting but had the other yucky symptom. That's better now. But now both of my kids have colds. Anyway, I'm nervous. Anyone out there?

Hopefully someone will have had a similar experience and able to reassure you.

You still have about five days to go, hopefully everyone's colds will have cleared up by them.

Hope all goes well for your surgery!

You could try some Zicam, shouldn't hurt, might help, keep your hands washed to slow down the germs getting YOU.

I'd definitely give the Zicam a go as Frustr8 says, and maybe Airborne or EmergenC.

My surgery is Feb 5th and I am so paranoid about getting sick beforehand!

Thanks for asking! Physically, I'm fine. Mentally, I'm getting nervous and anxious due to the weirdness of my home situation and my husband not knowing about the surgery. Eek. My daughters are my cheerleaders though. Looking forward to being on the other side, as I'm sure you are!

      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.
