Quick update

I had my surgery on December 18th and all went very well.  I came on the following Sunday with a cough. It only got worse. On Tuesday I called the clinic and told them about  the cough and the fact that I wasn't getting enough liquid in.  Due to the phlegm I was encourage to try and get at least 48oz in. I called back on Wedesday begging for something take to supress the cough. I was coughing so hard well lets say I was ready to go and buy depends.  I was told Dayquill or Tylenol cold would fine to take.  Neither touched the cough at all.  But I was finally able to get in a good amount of liquid.  

Christmas day came, I did ok, even got to have cream of chicken soup for dinner.   After everyone left (10pm) I had a violent coughing attack.  I nearly passed out, almost threw up, and at one point became no responise, I heard my husband yelling my name and snapped out of it.

Saturday I called the on call doctor and after explaining everthing to him he ordered me a Z Pack.  So I hope that this will finally clear this horrible cough up. 

I really think that if I didn't have the cough I would be doing just great!

Congrats on making it to the loser's bench!  Sorry you are dealing with a cold on top of trying to heal.  As if recovering from RNY wasn't challenging enough!  I hope the Z-pac turns it around for you!

Hope you're doing better now.  I am feeling good and excited about yogurt ....baby steps.

Oh I'm so glad you are doing better, I wish this would go away. I know I would be in good shape if it were gone.  When are you going to start yorurt?  I was thinking of trying some refried beans with a bit of sour cream.  For some reason that really sounds good to me.. I even went out with a friend today and bought a can of fat free beans.   My post op appointment is on the 29th..
