:eek:It freaks me out with the winter approaching. Catching a flu bug can be very dangerous.

I have been down with the flu for the past three days, and although I felt so bad, I never threw up. I was so afraid that I would start throwing up and not be able to stop. I did get sick to my stomach, and dizzy but fought the throwing up with all my might. Thankfully I had gotten a re-script on the nausea meds given to me by my Dr. before my cruise. I took one of them, let it dissolve on my tounge and it really helped.

Repeated vomitting can cause band slippage. So I recommend to all band patients to keep some anti-nausea meds close at hand! I lost over 4 1/2 lbs from this sickness, certainly NOT the way to take the weight off though! I could barely drag from the couch to the bed and DREADED having to get up to go to the bathroom. I think my resistance was down because of the work I did for the wedding of my daughter a week ago. I got TOO tired. We do have to keep a schedule, I have learned that and when we get off schedule, we PAY for it! Well I am on the mend to full recovery today. Back on track again and Praying that all goes well the rest of the week, today is my oldest grandsons birthday and I am scheduled to go to Disney this weekend with him, so maybe I will have the strength and they won't have to push me in a stroller! LOL Here's to a great day to all of you.:thumbup:
