Ugh. Not really wls related but I'm just having a pitty party and feeling sorry for myself. I'm 2.5 weeks postop rny, and just as I was starting to feel completely recovered from suregry I now have the worst sore throat, cough and stuffy nose. I guess the one silver lining is if I would have gotten sick a week ago, I would be in miserable pain everytime I coughed.

I'm passing my box of tissues onto you...and here's a hug, as well... Ask your surgical team if liquid Tylenol and liquid Mucinex is okay for you to take. My team okayed it, and it helped a lot. Because OF COURSE, you can ONLY get sick at the worst of times!!!!! Bless you and get well soon!

Get a vaporizer at Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart. They run about $16 around here. If it doesn't steam right away, add some salt. Stay away from air vents or fans. Put it next to where you sleep on the floor. Your sore throat will be better in the morning. I lived with throat infections for years and now have it mastered. Good luck and feel better!

Feeling your pain....it always happens to me at the worst times that I get sick and it never fails. I can get through so much and then just as I feel "ok" and can catch by breath. BAM I get sick.

Feel better, keep resting and I hope you get well soon!

Thank you guys! You are the best! Feeling a little bit better today!

Good point! That was my biggest fear pre-op that I would get sick, requiring my surgery to be postponed.

Love this idea! Totally getting a vaporizer. Literally feel like I have glass shards in my throat when I swallow.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
