So i am sick today...like a head cold or something. Since i have been feeling under the weather - i can not keep anything down. not even soup. i feel my band tighter today - i feel like its in my throat. i took a few bites of breakfast and had the worst puking episode i've had since being banded (over 2 months ago). WHAT GIVES?????

Hey im sick today as well and have gone light on the soup because im extra sensitive thAnks to my cold <_<but, its just the way it works and if you cant keep soup down drink something smooth or try some Gatorade for the day. I just had surgery about 3 monthes ago and every time i get sick i cant keep to much in just take things slow today.

it is so strange. what do you think being sick has to do with food?

It is very common for your band to feel tighter while you have an upper respiratory infection. You need to go on a liquid diet until you feel you can keep food down. I suggest you focus on getting all your water in and not force the food as this will only irritate your stomach more and cause it to swell more. Hope you feel better!
