Stomach Bug since surgery?

I had my surgery in September 2013 and I work for a school system and have 3 kids. I have been around a lot of stomach bugs lately and last winter after surgery at work and in my own house. While everyone else in the house caught it and spent the 24 hours vomiting etc in the last 2 weeks I did not. I did however feel crampy and generally icky. I am wondering if that is now the symptoms of a stomach bug for me or if I have just by some miracle maybe all the Vitamins I take now managed to not catch the bug the last 2 years. I am still catching all the normal icky colds. But was just wondering if other people have experienced something similar at this point?

Hi,

I got sleeved Oct 2012 - and I too have been around many bugs , including colds and flu and haven't caught anything - I did have a bit of the runs a couple weeks ago but I think that was because I'd overdone the laxitives as I was the other way. I put it down to all the Vitamins and supplements too...

Seriously though. I have vomited almost immediately 5 times. 1 too many spoons full. It was the same coming up as going down. It was not the bug. I have no advice. Just color commentary.

Well, I was sleeved September 2014 and I've already had 2 bouts of sickness. I had the flu during Thanksgiving and a stomach virus last week. Both liked to kill me. I've always been a person who hardly ever gets sick. I don't know what's going on but I'm ready for the sickness to be over!

The cooties have taken up residence in my home. We had Swine Flu visiting with us for Thanksgiving, which kindly traded places with the colds everyone had before the holiday. The germs are ridiculous this year. I really would like to spray everyone in the face with Lysol, but I really don't want to go to jail.

      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.
