Sos! Does Having A Cold Make You Tighter?



Recommended Posts

it feels like I have a slight cold coming on mostly nasal congestion/running, postnasal drip, and a sore throat...could barely sleep last night due to this pesky phlegm in my throat that seems to be going down like its stuck...I've been feeling super tight all day and even warm beverages felt funny going down...anyone have any experience with this? I recently had a small fill .75cc on Monday and was feeling fine prior to this...SOS...

It is the nasty phlegm. I read on here to drink something warm to help it go down. Hope you get to feeling better. Take care of yourself.

Absolutely! 3 weeks out I had awful shoulder and gas pain during an allergy attack, to the point where I had to have all of the Fluid that they put in the band during surgery removed (3cc). I now diligently take my allergy meds and use the Neti pot when there is alot of drainage. (So it doesn't reach my stomach!).

It doesnt make me tighter, but over the years I've seen enough people say so on here that its safe to assume its reasonably common.

It makes me tighter. I drink hot tea to soothe and go to liquids and mushies until it passes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
