Common Cold Help!

[Emily_35 10]

I always catch a cold over winter, but geez not this early. My problem is I can't eat. I even tried forcing the Protein Shake down, but I feel full. I think it's the drainage, just taking DayQuil or something equivalent otc. I'm just exhausted and slept the entire weekend. I'm about 10 weeks post op, had lab work not too long ago and everything was fine. Any sleevers that are farther out or have been through something similar have any advice?

Emily, I haven't gotten sick "yet" but I'm sure it's coming. Try to get in as much Fluid as you can, steer clear of milk/cream etc. and I would call your surgeon's office. Talk to your NUT...let them know what's going on and ask them for a cold medicine recommendation. Sorry you aren't feeling well.

I am also sick and even Water tastes nasty. I am not hungry and feel nauseous all the time

@@ylluz I'm not feeling any better either. I'm taking different otc sinus and cold medicine to see what works best. My biggest problem is I can't eat, I'm very nauseous and feel full. I'm staying hydrated but Water and Gatorade is the most I can get down. I'm nibbling on some cheese or crackers so the meds don't upset my tummy. I'm getting really exhausted, and the fatigued feeling we had right after surgery. I've tried the Protein Shakes but I just can't get them down. I hope you start to feel better if I figure something out I will definitely let you know.
