Fever- 1St Time I've Ever Prayed For The Flu.



Recommended Posts

I am ten days out and have had an unusually easy recovery. No pain, no nausea. No problems getting Fluid down. I have one incision that is a little red, so I decided to start taking my temp. I sent a pic to the Dr.'s office and they said it didn't look infected.Fine last night, this morning 99.9, now 100.9. No pain, just a tiny headache, fever and chills and very tired. My Doctor's office told me to go to the ER. My ears feel a little stopped up, but I don't even feel bad. Heading to the ER and praying it's the flu or an ear infection. lol

When my stomach was infected my fever went up FAST and I had agonizing pain in my chest.

Here's to hoping you've got the flu and not an infection!!

Your fever seems to be low grade, still, so hopefully it's a normal thing. We're all hoping for the best for you. Best of luck!

Im no doctor nor did I stay in a Holiday in lastnight :) , but if the pollen in Tenn is half as bad as here in Louisiana I would bet on allergys, I say this because I have the same symptoms. Good luck and hope thats all it is.

What was the diagnosis?

It was a urinary tract infection due to being dehydrated. Spent 10 days on a nasty liquid antibiotic, but otherwise have had no problems since.

      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.
