My first cold since surgery...

And it's a doozy! My sinuses are all plugged. My throat hurts. I feel achy. I am crabby as heck! That's why I wasn't around yesterday. I was home sick in bed. Got up long enough to take the puppy out potty and grab an orange and a huge glass of crystal light. I don't feel much better today but I am here at work...ugh... BUT... this is the first cold I have had since I had surgery. I think that says something for all the vitamins we take. And all the exercising we do. I think the combination of those and losing weight has made my immune system healthier too. I don't think I will get my walk in as it is cold and damp out. I don't want to feel any worse than I already do. I will go tanning at lunchtime though. Maybe it will warm me up and make me feel better. Great job to everyone else. And Tammy, I am so happy for you making it to onderland! Welcome to the newbies who joined us over the last few days! And great job to you all on your anniversaries and such. Have a wonderful day! Lori 281/194/140 lost 2 lbs in the last 2 days...must be from being sick! 54lbs to goal!

Hi Lori - I KNOW how you feel- I went thru that 2 weeks ago- and I know what you are saying about the immunity..I drank a lot of Crystal Lite Sunrise - its 100% Vit C and increased my vitamins..When you are sick you need more vitamins than normal.. and used Advil sinus one day ( I had a fever 3 days) I knew from my surgeons- that doing it one day would not hurt - and it gave me the ability to sleep .. so hope you are getting lots of rest and drink plenty of soup- that also worked for me.. here's a question- do you think it had something to do with your recent BB piercing? It may not- but isnt it funny how we know ourselves & then look at the newest or latest thing we did- to see if it affected us? But it can also be the change in the weather as well - hot cold- summer then winter again! Feel better! Hugs, Donna

Hey Donna, I don't think it had anything to do with the piercing. I think I just finally caught the crud that has been going around. I am drinking chicken soup broth right now. I am hoping it will warm me up! Thanks for the get well wishes. I think I just need to go home and go to bed again! Take care, Lori

Hi Lori.... Sorry to hear you're under the weather.... Nice that's it's been so long since you've had a cold though eh? Thanks for the congrats...... Hope you feel better soon Tammy

It is nice that it's been that long! I am starting to feel a tad better as the day wears on thank goodness. I hope I can start walking again tomorrow... Thanks for caring! Lori

Hi Lori, Sorry you're not feeling well. I just got over my cold/flu. Lasted a month w/ a low grade fever, sore throat, cough, etc. I hope your's isn't anywhere as long. Feel better!! Dawn

Thanks Dawn! I am still fighting it. Now I have an ear infection to. But the good news is that I am still losing. I have lost 89lbs as of this morning. I weigh in at 192! So I guess something good is coming out of this! Lori

HI Lori I just want to say feel better and get plenty of Hang in there... Priscilla
