Stomach bug?

[Grateful_Love 114]

I am about 6 weeks post op.

I've already called my bariatric office and left a message.

About 10 days ago my husband had a stomach bug that we thought was food poisoning from him getting Chinese take out. It lasted three days.

This morning, I woke up and felt "not right." Then I started to get nauseous. I took a zofran and drank half a protien shake with some Decaf. Four hours later, I popped another Zofran because the nausea came back. I went to the bathroom and had diahreah, but once the zofran kicked in again I felt better.

Now, I'm having this strange gurgle pains going through my intestines. (I think it's my intestines at least.) I ate a sf Popsicle and I felt it travel all the way through.

I haven't thrown up at all but I thank the zofran for that because I truly think I would be otherwise.

I've had no complications at all, I think everything is healing okay inside. I haven't had any pain anywhere. Yesterday I was packing some boxes and now I feel a little like I did some ab work from bending and moving around.

Usually, I would take pepto or Imodium and go from there--but I've had issues being "backed up" two times in the recent past and I don't wanna constipate myself.

Is the gurgling all the way down thing normal?

Should I take some pepto and tough it out later?

Should I try saltines? I've been the anti carb since I started.

How did this work out for you? I am 10 weeks post op. I was hospitalized for three days this week with a stomach bug. I didn't even think that was possible. My bariatric doctor saw me in the hospital and assured me the sleeve was healed and fine.

I just zofran-ed myself every 4 hours. I didn't actually vomit, but I felt like I was going to all day.

Luckily, the zofran knocked me out. I was up 3x to walk the dog. Zofran also made me a little dizzy, so that stunk.

I had diarrhea most of the day, I tried to push fluids but didn't really do too well. This morning I woke up and felt better. A little nauseous but only took one zofran all day. When I woke up I had a killer headache so I drank Powerade zero (three of them!! I was so dehydrated. I could tell).

I'm feeling much better now.
