That's what I get for bragging!

Not too long ago, I was bragging that I havent been really sick since my rny in 2010. Maybe a little cold here and there but nothing major, well last week it hit.

I have laryngitis and bronchitis, that started off with my sinuses last week.

Thank goodness for prescription cough syrup, finally slept last night about 4 hours. Broke down and finally went to the doc's yesterday.

I have been awful with my vites and liquids. All this coughing is really upsetting my stomach. And back on the simple carbs, the saltines are very settling right now.

So its time to get back on the straight and narrow. Maybe since I slept a little, it will be easier to keep the carb monster at bay.

Hope you all have a great day!

So sorry you are sick Maria. Hoping you are feeling better soon.

I hope you are feeling better today!! When you are sick and run down and lack of sleep those simple carbs have a chance to attack you because you are weak, at least that is how it works on me. On the plus side you realize what is happening and are fighting back. Good for you!! Hope you are feeling better and you have a great day!!

So sorry you are feeling well!   (((HUGS)))

I had a spell of sickness a  while ago and saltines was all I could handle.  It wasn't like I was craving carbs so it was really easy to break the "habit".  As soon as my tummy settled I was anxious to get back to my Protein drinks and food.

I think all of our protein and vits keep us pretty healthy but those occasional wild bugs I guess can still lay us low.  Sorry it found you.  Hope you are all better soon. 

Hope you're feeling better soon.  

I bragged that I also hadn't been since for 2 years after RNY - then BAM - seemed like the next whole winter I had something...

Take care of yourself.  If some saltines is what it takes to make you feel better, then do it.  There's always time after you're well to get off the carb monster's back.

Feel better soon and rest, rest, rest!!!

Thanks for all the well wishes and support.

The timing was just unreal, I feel like I put the jinx on myself. My sides are sore from coughing and my voice is still so hoarse. But this too shall pass.

Got most of my vites in today and had a couple of protein coffees to get atleast 54g of protein today. Warm liquids dont seem to make me cough as much.

Praying for a good nights sleep.

Maria,

Hope you get some rest tonight and feel much better tomorrow!!
