Does anybody have a sure fire way to knock out a cold in three days? I am so upset' date=' Saturday my throat was scratchy, Sunday coughing and sore throat, today worse. I am so worried because my sleeve is this THURSDAY!!! I am sucking down chicken broth, sucking on sugarfree Hall's and staying as warm as I can here at work. I will listen to any suggestions. I don't want my surgery pushed back because of this.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.[/quote']

OMG!!!! I am at urgent care right now freaking out because I don't want my date pushed back either. I am going to see my surgeon for my pre-op orders and diet so I hope I feel better tomorrow.

I hope you feel better & there are no changes on your surgery plans.

I will pray that all goes well.

March 5th is just a day away. Super excited' date=' My surgery is scheduled for 6:30am in Decatur with Dr. Scott Stowers. I made it thru a week of liquids and today has been great, I have had mixed berry clear Gatorade, Water and 12oz of sweet tea. Surgeon said if blood sugar dropped today that it was okay to drink sweet tea ??de1cI weighed in during pre-op and I've lost 19.4 pounds in 1 week on the liquids awesome. Is like to drop the last .6 by tomorrow morning reaching my goal of 20 pounds preop. Prayers for everyone getting sleeved and the beginning of a wonderful journey.[/quote']

I have been drinking Propel flavored (non carbonated) Water. You can get it by the case at Sams Club and in the case it has 3 flavors' date=' like berry, grape, etc. BUT, it's not red or purple, it's clear, so it's perfect for the 3 days before and the first week after, not to mention a good way to get down 64 oz of fluids daily. Tastes fairly good, especially if very cold, so use some ice. It's very refreshing, too.[/quote']

I've never been a Water fan, so I carry around little packets to flavor water. They are calorie free and help me get my water in. I have a bubba cup so I can keep track of my intake.

I hope this helps.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
