Oh no! Gastro!!



Recommended Posts

Oh golly, cross your fingers for me.

Eliza woke up having vomited all over her bed last night, but she only did it once, I figured it was due to the fact that she drank the dregs of a few Coke cans (which she never has ordinarily) at Mum's last night. Then she woke a few hours later with another fit of nausea. I thought oh, no, she's got a tummy bug.

Today I dont feel so great. Not nauseous just that funny sick headache. Gastro goes through the family like nobody's business. I have surgery on Friday!!

Please if I'm going to go down with it, let me get it today and be over and done with by Friday! I've got the kids organised with parents and in laws, its going to be a nightmare if they're all spewy and unwell.

Chances are like usual I'll just feel a bit bleuch for a day or two, if its been mild for Eliza I wont even get it, I've got a gut of cast Iron generally. But Doug's a wimp and a half, he always get the gastro bugs and always gets really sick with them. Groan, Sigh, Rant!!

oh Jacqui, I sure hope everything turns out ok. I would mention this to my surgeon just as a peace of mind. You certainly dont want to get banded, then start having a stomach bug on that newly banded tummy! YIKES! Thats a scarey thought.

Well it's kind of passed over for me now, feel a bit more like myself after being up a few hours. I dont normally get the tummy bugs thank goodness, at the most I usually just feel a bit yuck for a little while. Neither of the boys has vomited over anything valuable yet so that's a good sign, lol.

Eliza woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed too, she seems to have gotten over it, I'm just washing puked on doonas, bleurgh.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
