Recommended Posts

Talk to your doctor before taking anything. You don't want anything that will change your blood work ups, thin you blood or interact badly with your anesthesia.

I had a horrible cold right before my surgery and I was told to take Tylenol cold and flu right up to midnight the night before. I didn't have a fever so surgery was on.

I was also on my period. ;) That's usually the other common ailment. :D

Period will be me also! Lol

Using saline spray (non-medicated, regular saline spray) every couple hours will help you to kick the cold much faster. No one likes squirting the salt Water up their nose, but it really will clear things out for you ASAP (I worked for Ear Nose and Throat docs for 8 years, so believe that I know what I'm talking about). That, and drink a TON of Water. Stay super hydrated. Eat spicy foods, super hot Soup, tea, etc. Take a hot shower or bath. Sweat that baby out. Good luck!

PS - I felt a cold coming on yesterday, started the saline regimen and am already on the mend.

I will be trying this also! Thanks for the suggestion.

Lots and lots of fluids!

I'm gong to do as much as i can! Thanks

Wasabi will clear your nose fast. I can't eat sushmi without it , love the way it hits you right in the nose and you sniff and blow your nose then your nose is so clear.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
