Call your doctor! I have strep throat and a sinus infection my doctor told me take anything I want to if it's not gone in a few days "4" go to a urgent care or make an appointment with my pcp.

My doctor said that throwing up is NEVER normal after the sleeve... He said if you feel sick to call the office and get a Rx called in for you. NOT fun. Good luck!!

If your doctor said you have the stomach flu, he should also tell you what to eat or drink. Try broth and gatorade. Add your Protein if you can tolerate. I have colitis and I had surgery 4 days ago. My problem isn't it coming out the top end, just the bottom (sorry).

I am going to try rice milk next as dairy makes the problem worse. I can mix bananas into the Protein so that helps. As do the HUGE antiobiotic pills that i have to cut up into 8s to get down. Hang in there

I'm not throwing up just stomach cramps, diarrhea (sorry tim) light headache and lightheaded.

I had some crackers earlier but went right thru.

      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.
