Having a cold for the first time

[Jobey 177]

Omg I was sleeved June 7 2016 so 3.5 months ago and I have a cold for the first time.

It's so fricking gross, I don't really feel like eating cause all I'm doing all day is swallowing snot. Sorry if this is TMI, but no one will understand like you guys

You know, I was thinking about this all week.

All three of my kids have been fighting colds. I've been teetering it feels like, for days, but seem to be fighting it off.

I'm worried about meds to alleviate any symptoms, should I need them--With a pouch from bypass, how my body will react to them.

Sorry you're not feeling well.

Maybe some good old chicken Soup or broth with unflavored Protein powder??

Sudafed will dry up all the guck. If I don't use a strong antihistamine, I barf snot pockets all day.

Don't swallow the mucus you need to get it out of you not keep it in... I had just gotten over one and I used DayQuil worked pretty good and sf halls cough drops

I am 11 days post op and have a cold. It's not pneumonia because it's all upper airways that are effected. Still using my IS and walking. It's a Runny nose and cough. I spoke to my surgeons PA yesterday regarding meds I am allowed to take. They Ok'd liquid DayQuil and NyQuil. I'm concerned about coughing and my staples. She didn't seem concerned but has anyone heard of people developing a leak due to coughing? I'm doing everything right and I may be just a little neurotic in thinking I'm going to end up with a leak.
