So I have had a stomach bug going on six days. I am a couple days short of two months out. I have had nausea and diarrhea with the occasional vomiting. Also, really bad Migraines but no fever at all. I did call my doctor and he said it definitely sounds like a virus not something concerning the surgery and I am feeling a lot better today but through this whole thing I just haven't been able to get more than 2 bites of solid food without vomiting. Now the diarrhea has gone and the nausea as well except for when I eat anything solid I get very nauseas and vomit or want to vomit for like an hour if I manage not to and this is with like one or two bites of food. I guess my question is did anyone else happen to get a bad stomach virus after anytime after surgery and what was our experience? Also, I have gone back to a liquid diet, not so much by choice, but because I just can not stand even the thought of putting solid food in my mouth makes me want to hurl. How long do you guys think this will last? I would really love to eat again. Plus, I feel terrible as I haven't been doing anything right. No Vitamins as they make me want to wretch, hardly any Protein, limited fluids.

yes!! i've been like this on and off for 2 weeks, diarrhea, vomit and stomach pain. Haven't had any fever and haven't had headaches. Went to my doctor, he said it was a stomach infection, but it could also be a virus. He gave me some medicine, still taking it.

I hope both of you feel better soon. I work in the medical field and of coarse right now the most important thing is fluids and staying away from dehydration. I am sure your stomach needs some time to adjust and feel better from the virus or infection.

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.
