Vicki,

I was hoping you would have been feeling better by now.  I was hoping we could get in our shopping day before I left for Bailey Island.  However,  I have to work the weekend and then we are leaving Monday.  I wont be back till after Thanksgiving so Im gonna shop at a few malls along the way and the town of Freeport has huge amt of designer stores for shopping. 

Well take care of yourself and get well soon.  Im glad you DRs appt went so well.  You have done great on your wt loss.  Keep it up

Pamela

PAMALA HAVE FUN. AND MAYBE WE CAN DO A GALS DAY OUT WHEN YOU GET BACK,. RIGHT NOW I AM TAKING NYQUIL AND SUGAR FREE CAUGH DROPS AND AT LEAST I AM ABLE OT SLEEP A LITTLE BIT. VICKI

Vicki, I'm a fan of NyQuil myself...the cherry flavored one. It has never made me dump or anything but I do go straight to bed after taking it because it only takes about 5 minutes to make my eyes start to close. I hope you get to feeling better! Sherri

I hope you get to feeling better soon. 

I am just getting over a bad cold.  It has been almost 2 weeks.  You might try some Robitussin.  I think they have that in diabetic form. 

Me, I took Nyquil. It bothered my pouch right after I took it for about 3 minutes. I had a sick feeling in my pouch, but never threw up.  I dont think it is the best choice for us post-op's, but I took it anyways.

Dont forget to get plenty of fluids.
