Great weight loss plan!

Its called a nasty cold. I was planning on driving 800 miles to get a fill, its been about 13 months since I had one. (3 years since banded) I was able to eat more than I wanted to be able to eat. Thankfully, I didn't go yet. I came down with a bad cold, my eyes are litterally running, and someone turned on the faucet in my nose. Lots of extra fluids, and that made my band super tight. When I tried to take a few big drinks of Water a few nights ago, I knew something was coming on. I don't recall my band getting this tight from an illness before, but it does have its own mind. Stress will tighten me right up. So, for two days now, I can't get any solid foods in. Even thick liquids (slim fast) are not working well. I'm drinking lots of warm tea, hot cocoa and propel. I'm down about 6 pounds. I've gained 40 of the 70 I lost after I quit smoking, so I'll take it anyway I can get it. Maybe this will give me the jumpstart I need. Anyone else have a really tight band when you get sick?

I have strep throat and have experienced a real tight band with this. I am having to ease back into food and drinking lots of warm/hot liquids wow this is crazy how it tightens up with different things.

Lol, I've found bowel resections and then subsequent hospitalisations for bowel obstructions and dehydration work pretty darn well too!

Add in some chemo and the weight even stays lost, hehehe.
