Surgery Monday Sick Today



Recommended Posts

I had to go to the doctors today to get some antibotics as I was getting a sore throat and feeling a slight fever,. everyone at my work has been sick with a nasty cough and sore throat... So anyway I get to the Doctor and he says no antibiotics, we will know this out with steroids.. made me take 7 pills tonight and 7 tomorrow spread out through out the day... he said that should stop anything I have started in it's tracks...keeping my fingers crossed..never heard of taking prednisone to get rid of throat infections... have you?

Anyway hopefully it will work and I will be fine for Monday, CUZ I am going even if I have to fake feeling good. :party:

Good luck to all of you... sounds like a lot you are going in tomorrow..

hey there. I am in exactly the same boat, go figure. My surgery is on Monday and I got sick yesterday. I took some theraflu, airborne, Vitamins, vapor rub...the works. Hopefully i will be rid of it. However, if I can offer some advice...If Monday comes and you are still sick..RESCHEDULE. 4 years ago i had another surgery scheduled and was sick and decided to lie. They did a blood test before and noticed my white cell count was elevated and asked me if i was sick. I said I felt fine. What was an outpatient surgery turned into a 2 night stay because I became VERY ill afterward. Instead of returning to work in a week, I returned in a month. I vomited for days straight, lost my hearing for weeks, and was just deathly. Surgery will shock your system and being sick can just lead to infection and prolongued healing. It really isnt worth it. So Ill say a prayer for you and maybe you can do the same for me and this bug will be gone in a day or two! :party:

      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.
