    I would talk to your doctor or a nurse about this with you being so early out. I was 6 weeks out when I had a cold and needed cold meds and I had no problem taking them then, but I am not sure what they suggest for only three weeks. I hope you find your answer!

    I don't see why not. I was taking a LOT stronger drugs than that in the first 3 days after surgery. A lot more, too.

    I had to take it during week 3 too for a nasty cold. No issues at all and helped tremendously.

    Intoxicant: I didn't end up taking it. I'm ending week 3 and I haven't weighed myself since the first week. Friends and family are saying they already see a difference, but I don't. I don't own a scale and i am tempted to go out and buy one but I don't want to weigh myself daily.

    How are you doing?

    It's a trial and error type of thing. I ate the riccotta bake... Which is a recipe that has been talked about a lot on this site.... It was good but came right back up. Think it was much to heavy still. I can eat egg salad. Thick Soup. Mashed potatoes. I still have a hard time with drinking. I'm so used to drinking all day at my speed that is hard to slow down.
