Help! I Have The Stomach Virus/flu



Recommended Posts

***please dont read if you have a weak stomach***

Im in so much pain, last night I tried to vomit but to no avail. Dry heaving and frothy bile but no contents. :( I called my surgeon and he said if it got worse that he would remove some Fluid. I wish i was told that this could cause issues. It hurts so bad i want to crawl up and die. Anyone else experience this?

No, thank God! This is one of my biggest fears because when you vomit the stomach contracts and the band could slip. I currently have a cold but I am thinking about asking my doctor to give me a prescription for an anti-viral. I am allergic to eggs and cannot have the Flu shot so an anti-viral is the best I can do. You might want to up your Vitamin D for the duration of flu season. I get a 5000 IU gel cap from Puritan's Pride website. Good luck to you.

Would anti nausea medication help? You could ask for a suppository because you can't keep anything down right now. I hope you feel better soon.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
