Okay gang - official freak out time. I'm having surgery tomorrow and I think I developed an oral yeast infection from all sugar in the juice I'm mixing with protein drinks to make them pallatable. I usually stay away from juices because of the sugar, but I figured for two days it would be okay. I'm assuming the sugar in the juice was a shock to my system and caused the yeast infection. Does anyone know if they won't let me have my surgery because of an oral yeast infections?? Please reply asap!!!

Wow, so I wasn't supposed to have ANY fruit juices on my pre-op. Reason why? It's cuz fructose will make your liver fatty...

I'd call you doctor. Are you sure it's thrush?

Pretty sure, Fluffy - I've had it before.

Better call your doctor. Did he know you were mixing your protein with fruit juice?

Fluffy - yes - it was suggested. The pre-op liquid diet for me is just to clear out the stomach, not for weight loss.

FutureFitGal were you able to get your SURGERY, on February 13th or did it get postponed? Are you feeling any better? Haven't heard from you and was concerned.

Kakatlady - yes, I had my surgery!! Surgery went well, no complications, but I was having a lot of difficulty drinking (sipping) anything - lots of pain regardless of how small the sips were. After being home for two days, I became dehydrated and had to be re admitted to the hospital yesterday to get IV fluids. Came back home today and am now doing fine. It just took longer for the swelling at the opening of my stomach to go down. Thanks for asking and for your concern!!

Congratulations. I just had a tooth extracted and have a mouth full of canker sores. I am scheduled for March 5th and not sure how I am going to manage with additional mouth pain. Any tips?

How are you doing now? Hope your mouth is not so sore and that you are healing from,your surgery.
