So, I get up this morning, exactly 1 week from my surgery date and guess what???.... I feel like I am coming down with a cold. Seriously?

I cannot be sick, I am pushing liquids and Protein like crazy hoping to overcome and be better by Monday.... Uggh

Gotta love Mondays! :)

OMG Michelle- I came over to Pre-Op to post THE SAME THING!

I woke up today with a sore throat- thought it was allergies- but tonight I feel like crap and I know I am sick. My son had a cold and we worked together shooting a wedding Saturday. I drank airborne all weekend trying to protect myself but nope.

I am so scared! It always seems to go to my lungs and get bad. I just will freak if they cancel my surgery!

With one week to go....here we are! ACK!

Hugs to you!!!!

I had a cold when I had spinal cord surgery last year. I thought for sure they would cancel, but they didnt. In fact, they gave me something to dry out my nasal passages and lungs right before they hit me with the hard drugs. They did check and re-check me for a temp, but since I didn't have one away we went with surgery. Hopefully, your cold will pass by then. If not, call your Dr and find out what his protocol is for surgery when you have a cold. Good luck!!

I would hate to have done this sick. But I asked as I often get colds when I dramatically change my diet. They said that if it was just a cold -- no infection, no fever -- and I was okay with having it, they would not cancel on me. (Which was sort of funny since they ultimately canceled on me twice for other reasons)

Luckily you have some time so that if it is just a cold, you can recover. Unfortunately, if it's more, you might not be so lucky. ;)

Mine is definitely a cold. :( I was really tired at Water aerobics last night but with eating, or should I say drinking 500 calories a day it could have been that- but when I got home it was in my chest and I knew it. I have slept most of the day today... but good news is I was a bit better when I woke up and I think it will be a quick one. I am using my sinus lavage twice a day since everything goes to my sinuses... also adding strawberries and banana to my Protein drinks to help up my c and citamins and of course hitting the airborne and the emergen-c....and I will contact my doctor and see what could happen.

Healing light to everyone!!!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
