FluffyBleu76 32 Posted July 26, 2012 So I am a little over 3 months post-op and I am down over 30 lbs. I have not had one negative side-effect from the surgery and I am working my sleeve. Well, I am fasting for the month of Ramadan and in my first meal, I had chicken salad that must have been left out all day because I, along with a few others, got food poisoning. I was sick for a day and a half! Vomit, diarrhea and sweats. It was one of the worst pains in my life. Having said that, it seemed to hit me a bit harder than it hit the others who got sick. Also, I still have no appetite and it seems like I can only do Protein Shakes and popsicles. Have any of your experienced any thing like this and do you think the sickness hit me harder because I have less stomach? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clk 3,519 Posted July 26, 2012 Oh yeah, definitely. Sorry for the sickness. I am the first one in any group to suffer ill side effects from anything we eat that's sketchy. Other people might get some nausea and I'll get full blown food poisoning. I blame it on the fact that food just passes through my body more quickly with less stomach. It definitely doesn't hang around in my stomach for three to five hours before moving into the rest of me, like a normal person! Protein shakes and popsicles will get you through, and it's normal to have a loss of appetite after being seriously ill from food like that. Be careful with your food! We do some fasting holidays, too, and it's important to be careful about what foods are prepared and how for the post-fast meal. I know you don't need a lecture, though. Feel better soon! If you feel like you might get/be dehydrated get to the doc right away. Otherwise push liquids and get in shakes and you should recover soon. ~Cheri 1 JustSkinnyMeInside reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
