I too have been sick more this last year than ever. Last year I got a flu shot if I can ever get well I will go get one get a flu shot. I think it as to do with not getting enough nutrition sometimes is hard to get all the Protein in

I've not been sick this fall/winter (knock on wood), but last year had a cold, got better for 2 days and got another one right on top of it.

I've known a LOT of folks sick with sinus issues/strep throat this year.. one a healthy teenage kid.. took her nearly a month and 3 different rounds of meds to get over her stuff.

Take your Vitamins (adult strength please.. but childrens are better than nothing), and all other supplements recommended by your surgeon and/or PCP. Ask about taking Echinacea, Golden Seal or Elderberry if you are a believer in herbal supplements. If you are on prescription meds, do make sure that any herbals you try don't interfere with said prescriptions.

I get a flu shot every year and do not get sick from them. I do know people who have gotten sick afterwards, but generally that's coincidence as they no longer use live virus to my knowledge. I think it's important to get the flu shot for bandsters because we do NOT want to be vomiting and risk slipping our bands.

Hope everyone who is ill feels better very very soon. Remember good handwashing and use paper towels to open the bathroom door after washing your hands.

I have had the stomach flu (I think) 4 times since Sept.....Bad stomach pain, body aches, chills and sweating. Never did vomit. Makes me wonder, I've never been sick like this before. Here's to a healthier New Year for everyone

In addition to some of the thoughts here could our bodies be so used to having the extra fat on it and now have to fight illness a different way since we're lighter?
