I have a horrible head cold and congestion.  What can I take after being 25 days post op?  I feel miserable!

Whatever you took pre-op.  I like Mucinex.

Mucinex works great.  I also love Sudafed.  Sudafed is one of the best cold meds combined with mucinex, and the generic is cheap.  Tylenol for aches, sparingly.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

So early post op - I would avoid anything that has NSAIDs or aspirin... Read the labels.
