I dont suffer, well I've hardly even had a cold since I was banded almost 2 years ago.

but I've heard others say it and my unbanded DH suffers horribly when he gets a cold -the mucous gives him horrendous heartburn that lasts for weeks after the cold goes away. It can be very irritating, so I guess its just a matter of ride it out.

Hi, I got banded 7 months ago and just got a horrible cold. I seem to have no appetite and also if I go to eat I make so much mucous that I just can't eat. I do very well with liquids, but only two bites of solid food until I can no longer

eat anymore. Anyone else experience difficulty in eating with a cold?

I am so grateful to find this thread. I have been fighting a virus/cold/bronchitis/cough for about 2 weeks now. Tonight was miserable. I was dozing off and on, propt(sp?) on pillows - spitting up acid and mucus every hour or so, the pain is terrible, crunching on Tums (only thing I have). Then about 30 min ago or so; started vomiting up acid snd snot, to the point of dry heaves.

I will definetly do the days of clear liquids, skip an antibiotic pill today.

It is times like these I am so scared the band has slipped or eroded. I am glad to know I am not the only one.

Go Clear Liquids. :sneaky:

Thanks, Melissa

Everyone around where I live has had rotovirus for the last couple of weeks. Lots of throwing up and such. I was scared when I got it I would hurt my band, but I only threw up once. I feel lucky. When my daughter gets head colds she throws up mucus a lot in the mornings. Everyone is different I guess.

      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?

      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.
