I was banded in September, 2007. I have had great success but I have also been sick quite often this year. I was just wondering if anyone else seems to have had any of this. I know there is a lot out there, my family has all had something or another for months. BUT , I usually do not get this much. I have had colds, worse allergies and just sick all the time. Mostly cold type things. I was wondering if this maybe due to some vitamins or something I amnot getting enough of. Just had this thought today and figured I may need to have the Dr do some blood work.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

A couple of thoughts come to mind:

1) This has been a very rough cold and flu season in my neck of the woods ever since school started...but particularly January and February! Just seems worse than normal!...so maybe that's all it is.

2) ARE you taking vitamins, calcium and essential oils regularly? Maybe look at supplements that boost the immune system and take those as well.

Gee, I am so sorry you've been so sick. I really wish I could say that I've experienced the same, but other than gout and ketosis (normal weight loss stuff), I've been better this winter than before.

Questions: do you take a complete vitamin daily? Did you get a flu shot last fall?

Just thought I'd give you some sympathy....:smile:

Just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I get sick maybe once a year...and that's not every year. And it only lasts a few days and that's it.

But this year... I was banded in June and have had the flu twice, pneumonia once, and colds like you wouldn't believe.

Since our bodies are deteriorating...that's what losing weight is to the body...since we are attacking our bodies, our bodies are conserving energy and expending it to stay alive...not much room to fight illnesses or keep them at bay.

But it's so worth it! I'm a size 6/8 now.

HI, yes I do take a multi vitamin and some other supplements also. I did also get a flu shot. It is very possible it is just coincidental, but thought I would see.

Thanks

Is there specific essential oils that you have used?
