I still got sick :(



Recommended Posts

Okay, so maybe this was a crazy expectation, but I really thought that after getting healthier by eating right and exercising my body was going to be better at fighting off things like colds/sore throats/other stuff. I've been making these changes for almost a whole year at this point (started exercising/eating better when my 6 mo. nutrition appointments started). Every year I get the same bug and unfortunately this year was no different (although I am 100+ pounds less while being sick :) ). I still have somewhere between 50-80 pounds to go. Is there any hope of a super immune boost in my future?

Skinny people get colds too. You could try adding extra Vitamin C to your routine during the winter flu season, but colds happen to everybody.

Skinny people fart too! Somebody lied and said weight loss cured it!

I kid! Sorry you still got sick. Keep in mind your overall health will most likely drastically improve in the long run with the weight loss.

Best of luck to you!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
