Flu vs leak symptom

[danyelleb 386]

One positive that came out of this flu ordeal is I lost 7 lbs this week' date=' placing me 2 lbs below my first WLS goal of 185.

YAY!

This is the lightest I have been since 9th grade.

Do not read this as an endorsement of the flu to lose weight. Lol. My caloric intake was so bad this last week and I got so dehydrated, I would not recommend this on my worst enemy.

Now I will have to figure out if I am done losing or if I really need to go to my new goal set this week of 170. I'll need to discuss this with the nut rationalist and dr next week.[/quote']

Yikes, Fiddleman. I'm sorry to hear that u were so sick. I hope that u recover in less than two weeks. It sounds like things r looking up for u.

With that being said, woohoo 7 pounds! That's a mighty loss. Get better and don't stress about the training.

Sorry to report again, bit I felt I needed advice from the forum.

Today. I felt pretty good on rising and decided to start back at work today. Very little is different from yesterday, but instead of relaxing with the family I am working at my home desk. No exercise today or last week and have eaten, drunk the same as yesterday. No flu meds today, but I did take my Vitamins and prescripts at 6am this morning.

Around 1 pm (a little less then an hour ago), I started feeling really spacy, light headed, ears ringing loud, and focus is wanning quickly. My temperature has risen and I am getting slight chills and perspiration breaking out everywhere from neck lymph node are to forehead to chest to legs to feet. My vision is getting a little wonky also.

One weired thing I noticed, and only because I am now anal about how my body feels , is that after I drank my shake this morning the cold sensation went below the usual area where I feel hot and cold in my stomach and intestines. I am not sure what to think about that following my description of afternoon episode.

Should I pay attention to this or is the flu trying a last stand?

You need to be careful. If you've had the flu and a fever. Then got better for a few days and then have it come back, it could be a sign of a secondary infection. Keep a eye on it and if you start getting worse ( fever) call the doctor...

(Edit)

Here read this;

Secondary bacterial infections can set in as the flu is resolving. A common sign of this occurring is when someone who has been sick from the flu, starts to feel better, then starts feeling sick again. In this case, a secondary bacterial infection may be setting in causing either sinusitis, ear infections, bronchitis, or pneumonia.

Ok- thanks. I am going to see my surgeon's team on Wednesday so will make a point of asking at that time.

Leaks at six months happen, but they are extremely rare. And in all cases, you don't "feel" the leak (meaning you don't feel cold flowing out of your stomach...you poured cold liquid in a body that was 100 degrees hot...it's not cold when it gets down there). So honestly I wouldn't worry about the leak, but you aren't that far out of a major surgery and you've had extreme changes in your body in the last six months so a flu can be life threatening. Seeing your surgeon is a good idea, but I think you need to mask up and get to a quick care or er first hun if you don't feel an improvement. If nothing else, don't be alone just in case. The flu kills You have to take it eriously!
