Sicky Poo


Blah... I must say... having a cold after WLS kind of stinks. My Dr. has suggested that for the rest of your life after surgery you should not take cold med, aspirin, Tylenol, NOTHING. Chicken soup is his answer for a cold now that your post-op in his view. These concerns come from the threat of getting ulcers in the gut. If you must take something, take liquid medicine as then it won't sit in your gut and burn a hole in it slowly. This is my first bad cold since surgery. Anyway, I am trying very hard to not take anything while getting through this miserable cold I came down with. Which in my world this really stinks right now. I also want ice cream or something to make me "feel better". You know that comfort food that tastes good and makes it some what better while your sniffing, coughing, sneezing and can't rest. Mine was ice cream or some thing sweet. Now feeling like shit already if I were to sit down and have my comfort food it would make me hurl from all the sugar.


So needless to say I feel like shit......No cold medicine or ice cream. :(
Just had to whine a bit.
