Iggy quit highjacking posts for your own problems and you really need to get a life and you are old enough.

So happy to hear this! Hopefully today is just as good

Hey katie feeling a little better today . Had to go back in hospital friday morning but was released sat afternoon, no vomiting for a couple days now so i consider that a plus.

Oh no Lux, did you take a backward slide? I don't want to hear that!

[Lux531 25]

Afraid so i just dont get it felt ok yesterday & back to N/V today

[suzthebrit 146]

Did you do anything different yesterday because you were feeling good? Did you eat something different? It's so hard to just take things easy I know but don't push this time. Just take it easy, take as much clear Fluid as you can. Don't worry about how much you should be getting and just do your best! Things will turn better soon and this will all just be a bump in the road.

No not a thing different woke up feeling bad sipped Water all day only got about 3/4 a bottle today began vomiting again this evening

In so sorry to hear that Lux! This journey is tough but it shouldn't be this tough! Can you ask your doctor for some anti-inflammatory drugs? That may help. It sounds like you just might be having a tough time getting rid of the stomach swelling and that may be the cause of the vomiting.

Ugh. I really hope this all settles down soon.

Zofran really helps with vomiting.

Ask for it, so you can get relief!

Hope you feel better very soon!

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. At some point you are going to have to go to the doctor. If you are having nausea issues you are probably dehydrated. I know if you don't fight to get enough fluids you will go backwards. It is very important that you get anti nausea medicine and start getting at least 2 quarts of Water a day and start mixing Protein Powder in your water. Soon you will start feeling better and your appetite will return. Don't wait another day. Get checked out. Your health and life depend on it.

Lux you need to get back with your surgeon or another one and get this taken care of. It still sounds like a leak might be the issues because it's been going on for so long with no relief.

Oh and Katie...I'll know for sure next week but all looks well. If I don't need my claw anymore I'm going to mail it to Lux

[Lux531 25]

I am taking carafate , protonix & phenergan already. Just saw my dr friday as i was in the hospital & was vomiting upon my discharge. I wished i could get one quart of Water a day , two 20 oz bottles is a good day for me. Thanks

[lessofmeismore 1,405]

Lux-stay strong and keep up with your liquids. I'm keeping you in my prayers!

[suzthebrit 146]

Just keep trying lux. 40oz is better than nothing and if you are not vomiting that you are probably not at risk of dehydration. Just keep an eye on yourself, which I'm sure you are. Good luck!

From what I've read here those with the worst complications share one thing in common, a leak that is often diagnosed after weeks of intense nausea and vomiting, sometimes masked by other complications like blood loss, abcesses, and the like.

You NEED hydration and you need nutrition. It might be time to go back to the E/R and get those things taken care of and then your surgeon can re-address whether you now have a leak that needs to be dealt with. This does not sound like a stomach virus.

It is better to be safe than sorry Lux.
