DO YOU GET MORE SICK NOW?

This might be in my head, but I swear when I get sick now it's worse and I stay sick longer. Does anyone else feel this way?

I don't get more sick now but I have always had back problems, which you would think would get better with weight loss.  Wrong!  My back seems to be worse for some odd reason.

I had surgery 8 months ago and I haven't been sick once.

Nope - in fact with me it's exactly the opposite.  

ETA:  Maybe when you get sick now it feels worse because you can't comfort yourself with food any more - possible?

Nope.  I rarely got sick (I assume you're talking colds/flu) before surgery.  Haven't gotten sick after surgery.  It may be in your head.  You may have a vitamin/mineral deficiency that's affecting your immune system.  Are you up to date on your labs?

I haven't been sick in 5.5 years post VSG. (knock on wood)

Several times I've been "coming down" with a cold, but it never developed.

I've been feeling much healthier.. Until allergy season arrived and my heads been playing up a little.

I have the flu right now so I'm feeling extra yucky, but I do think it has to do with the vitamin deficiency. Just like even though I do feel healthier in general, but when I get a cold or flu or something like that, it feels like it hits me harder.

My surgeon has advised to take twice the normal amount of multi vitamin.

I just pop two multi's in the morning along with some Super B and Calcium in the morning and I'm good.

The key for me is is to look at my urine..... after the multi I'm looking for yellow which should mean my body is maxed out on vitamin absorption.

And than later in the day it's important to pee clear for kidney health.

Hope you feel better !

Have you had lab work done recently? Might be good to check in with your surgeon to see if you need to adjust your supplements or anything.
