Sick of being Sick!



Recommended Posts

Hi -

I have been fighting a sinus infection for over a week. I was put on antibiotics last weekend to see if that would help, but I swear the side effects are worse than the benefits!

I notice I am a lot more sensitive to meds than I used to be. Anyone else?

Well I guess the good news is that I may make my Easter goal! As of this morning, my scale showed 159.8, the first time I have ever been that low!

Right there with you, Gilta, on the being sick. SO tired of it!

I haven't really noticed anything but I haven't been paying attention either.

I'm on Amoxicillan, you know the liquid, bubble gum tasting, pink stuff. What are you taking?

I was afraid to chance pills. Last I remember, the pills are HUGE!

I'm hardly ever on anything other than what I take on a daily basis so I have no clue if there are other liquid antibiotics or small pill-form antibiotics.

In spite of being sick, this last time, it hasn't affected my appetite at all. I was STARVING til I got my re-fill on Wednesday. Got the .25cc back that he took out last month after I got so sick the time before. Seems to be working for me.

Hang in there. I'm hoping you feel better soon. Take care!

      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.
