Has anyone had difficulty getting food down when you have a cold or sinus trouble?

I am 10 months postop, but the past few days have been like the fist week on solids! I have a cold and a sinus infection, and I can *not* get food down like I am used to doing. I'm back to a few bites, period. It is really frustrating. Do the blocked sinuses swell up all the tissue so you can't eat? Or could it be something else? I can get liquids down, so I'm doing my protein shakes (not to worry, Michelle!) and keeping up that way. But it is really a drag to be at goal after 10 months and sudddenly unable to eat! Anyone else had this experience? Thanks.
