My bypass surgery date is May 16th. 2022. I’m in shrinking liver diet now (low carbs) and the liquid diet is a day before. Just one day!! But now I have sinus/cold, REALLY???? any tips or recommendations?

Maybe take some of those airborne vitamin C things. Some people say they make your cold duration shorter??

1 day liquid diet... My goodness... How lucky lmao. Feel better. But yea Take some Zicam or coldeez or what Shoppgirl said.

I had the same thing. Well I had a two week reduced carb/sugar diet and then one day of liquids. I didn’t realize till I got talking on here how lucky I was cause I thought mine was tough enough. I still say it was the worst part of the whole process for me.

Lol! I’m lucky! Thanks everyone! 3 more days!!!!! I’m so nervous!

Did you take a COVID test? Your hospital probably requires that prior to surgery anyway.

If it's just a cold or allergies, probably nothing to worry about, but they likely wouldn't do the surgery if it's COVID.

Good luck!

I’m doing it right now the covid test! And I’m feel so much better.

Try Cold-Eeze I swear by it!! They are in the cold section at CVS near the cough drops

I had a sinus thing a few days before surgery and day of. I had to produce a negative covid test and they did the surgery anyway. The antibiotics actually helped clear it that they give you during surgery ?
