Hey Guys..

Do any of you all have recurring sinus/respiratory issues?? I had to leave work today ... went to the Take Care Clinic and the NP told me I had a severe sinus infection that I need to knock out before it progresses.. I've noticed that since I've been sleeved, my allergies and sinus issues are worse.. Coincidence?? I don't think I've been taking enough of the gummy vits that I take daily...

I have no appetite, but I know I need to get my Protein in.. Suggestions for protein ladened Soups or something?? No dairy or red meat...

Thanks guys...

I have also noticed that since being sleeved I sneeze and have a runny nose much more than I did pre-sleeve. Don't know what the correlation could be, but it has been a noticable transfomation.

As for soups, I buy high potein/low carb soups from BariatricChoice.com. Here is link to their website.

Feel better!

ME TOO! I honestly never connected it to surgery until just now reading your post! Since surgery I've had like 5 sinus infections and have stayed congested. I'm now taking 2 different allergy medicines and it's helping some. Now I'm really curious if this correlates to the surgery.

I had severe sinus isses all my life so, I can't help U there.

But Walmart offers New whey liquid Protein 42grams per bottle for $2.49ea. They come in different flavors (my fav is Watermelon) Which ever you get try mixing it w/ a little Gatorade.

Take care & Feel better.

ME TOO!! I always seem to have a sneeze coming or a runny nose. The runny nose I always blame on being cold but now you've got me thinking! Feel better!!

Wow.. this is so funny... I have been telling my husband that I do not know what in around my insision area that would be connected to my sinuses but something seems to be out of wack!!! LOL...Since my surgery I sneeze all the time and have to blow my nose all the time... I have been taking Zyrtec twice a day per my primary doctors suggestion....however, I went to the pharmacy yesterday and picked up some liquid childrens Benadryl and that seems to help. But I don't want to be dependent on it.. I hope some of the "Older Sleevers" can tell us if they had the same issues and can hopefully tell us when this will end.

Hi everyone,

This is actually my 1st post. I sneeze constantly since surgery (5/25). My nose and eyes are running also. I was hospitalized for dehydration last week and they gave me Zyrtec as well but also advised that I have my CPAP reviewed. I have lost about 73 pounds ( 50 preop and 23 post) so maybe the settings need to be adjusted. I feel better reading this and knowing I am not the only one dealing with this.

Not sure it's related but my nose now runs really badly if I eat too much or too fast. The drip in my throat makes me gag if I dont blow my nose immediately.

Same here... If I eat too much I start sneezing uncontrollably... I am one who hardly sneezed pre op. But I noticed that I only start sneezing if I combine food and liquid and overstuff myself
