Feeling so rough. Think im coming down with something. Have a VERY sore throat, cant even swallow, it hurts. Losing my voice too. No cough. What cold medicine can i take that still keeps me in ketosis?

Lipotrim 100% for 16 week going from 12st4lbs (size 16) to target of 8st 6lbs (size 8) , total loss of 3st 12lbs. Didn’t do refeed, went on and off the wagon for 6 weeks after getting to goal and lost the plot a little. Rather than let the destructive cycle continue I am taking control. I am now preganant so although I don't plan on getting to goal I want to approach a healthy lifestyle rather than eat everything in sight!! I am truly a junk/sweet food addict and it is embarrasing the amount of cr*p I eat!! Have to give me and little bubba the best start I can.

Previously lost 5.7st on Lipotrim in 2011, in 14 weeks. Weight gained in pregnancy following the birth of my first daughter. Hoping for the same fab results, only I have more to lose this time around :-(
Absolutely worth it though for my two gorge girlies!!! That said, no more babies for me ;-)

Oh no Goose, hope you feel better soon x x x

Hugs Goose. My children have been poorly with a bug all week. Don't feel great myself today either. Its a miserable diet when you feel ill. I think Yeye is right with what she says. Take care xx

Get well soon goose![]()
Just a quick note because i was in this position a couple of weeks back, coughing myself to sleep, was told by the pharmacist and i quote "you're stuffed", i would suggest using eucalyptus extract mixed with boiling water in a bowl, and drape a towel over your head while breathing in the steam, also try wearing a scarf. Those two things fixed me up in a jiffy, and the best part is your not ingesting anything so doesn't effect the diet in the slightest.
Here we go again
hello all, just a quick update, yes Ahti you're right!! pretty much I#m stuffed! I wasn't convinved wjen I went to the pharmacy about the sugar free syrups he recommended, so I told him! and he goes that's fine just drink plenty of fluids and i think he said gargle with salt water. Anyway to be on the safe side I rang lipotrim and they said NOTHING!!! you cant take ANY of the syrups/pastilles/ lemsip type stuff, even sugar free stuff as it will know you straight outof ketosis. only thing you can take is paracetomal, they told me have LOTS of water, keep gargling with hot salty water (dont ingest as tastes yucky), the water should be as hot as you can tolerate.
I have bought a wooly scarf thing from new look, the one you put on your head like a hat and it has the long scarf things hanging on the side so u can drape round your neck if that makes sense? but keeps you super warm. and wore loads of layers today. Had a really rough weekend and not slept well. had to come to work today as just too mcuh too do and it'll all end up piling up. Sorry not really posted much, just too rough. Will try the eucalyptus, or maybe olbas as i know thats widely avaibale and have used it before.
hope i get better soon. feel awfulcant wait to go home. On a + point dont even feel like eating!! haha! being on the shakes is probs good as its the only thing id probably be able to get down me. Ive been having them hot and its been actaully quite soothing and comforting.
official weigh in tomorrow and I have good news!! so look out for my post in tuesday weigh in and christams challenge thread!!

Can't you get a spray that numbs the back of the throat? Stepsil made one but sure pharmacy have there own brand cheaper. Sure all it has in it is local anaesthetic and this would be ok? Xxx
