Flu Or Stomach

[smilebig2012 4]

The last 2 days I've been nauseas, dry heaving, diarrhea ( sorry TMI). I dont know if it's my sleeve or the stomach flu? I also have had on and off pain on my left side that travels to middle. ( kinda pulsing pain) It goes away and comes back? The day it started I ate half an egg, 1 slice bacon and 2 bites of hash brown, at lunch I had a cup of clam chowder. When I had lunch I was feeling nauseas and thought I had to eat. I was waking up in goose bumps and sweat running to the bathroom.

I was sleeved 4/10 (6 weeks)

Anyone had this? I'm miserable and today I'm slowly eating...but I did have a couple sips of seven up.

Sounds like the flu but since you're having pain I'd call your doctor to be sure. Do you have any anti nausea meds left? Try sipping on a small glass of Welchs 100% grape juice mixed 50/50 with Water. Its great for nausea and will get some Fluid in you. Hope you feel better!

I think you have a dairy allergy myself. Your symptoms sound like my last experience with a Protein Shake made with cow's milk. Call your doc in the morning, but avoid straight milk for a couple of days and see if it doesn't get better.

Oh keep taking your temp to make sure you dont have a high fever. Anything over 101 and you should really call your doc.

Please do not take this as any kind of criticism - I am a week post op and still trying to absorb all of the information. My doctor and the hospital gave me very specific instructions about what to eat. At six weeks I will still be on pureed foods. I will be able to eat eggs but bacon and hash browns would have to be pureed. I am not allowed any solid food for at least eight weeks.

Maybe they are overly cautious and maybe I will not stick to this. You may need to take a step back to softer food if this continues.

I'm thinking the fat in the hashbrowns would be playing merry hell with your tummy.
