I have a cold and just lost my lunch ... sound normal?



Recommended Posts

Okay, so my cold is better ...had it since Tuesday ... stayed home Wednesay back to work Thursday ... I still have a lot of mucous ... especially today. Tried to eat my lunch and work at the same time (was on the phone with the travel agent) had to hang up and literally RUN to the bathroom to give up what little of my lunch I had eaten. Is this because I am full of mucous? This is the first time I have had an episode like this. My lunch was a Lean Cuisine with soft noodles and soft chicken. Whew! I don't want to do that again. Think I'll do Protein Drinks for the next day or so ... what do you think? Ever had this happen when you have a cold?

I've had a cold for the past month. I'm starting to think it's not a cold anymore, lol. Anyway, during a cold you do end up swallowing a lot of phlegm. So, perhaps, since phlegm is sticky and kind of thick, it could cause you pouch to be somewhat full? That's just a theory though.

I hope your cold goes away! They are the pain in the butt. :frown:

When I am congested due to cold or allergies I can not eat as much and have to be more careful, not sure why congestion makes the band tighter but it seems to be the case.

I have bronchitis right now and lost my dinner tonight during a severe bout of hacking this evening.:lol: It's not unusual for me to PB (it's not really vomiting) while I'm sick and have lots of coughing and mucus.:cursing:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
