Diarrhea and nausea for the past 2wks

[cbrr 70]

I had my surgery on Nov 17 and am now down 35lbs since beginning of pre-op diet. I started with nausea and diarrhea on Dec 14 and I can't seem to get rid of it. I felt fine before this started. It does come and go and I haven't thrown up but just feel queasy most of the time. I can't seem to connect it to anything I'm eating or drinking. I take omeprazole once a day. Is this the flu? Has anyone else had it last this long? I know that I'm having a very hard time with any kind of Protein drink as I get nauseous even before I drink it...just haven't been able to tolerate the sweetness of them since surgery. Anyway, I'm tired of feeling yucky most of the time and am just wondering if I need to change something around. I'm getting my fluids in and usually 50-60 gr Protein. Also, I've only lost 3lbs since this started over 2 wks ago. Help!

Are you drinking things that are dairy based? YOu might be temporarily lactose intolerant, and should look for lactose free drinks.

I used to get really sick from the full sugar/high carb Protein drinks and switched over to the ones like glucose control boost, so you might try checking out those too.

Thanks Frankiesgirl for your reply. I think I must still have the flu. I talked to my youngest daughter this afternoon and she said she's sick with the same stomach things again today. She's had it off and on for over a week. I keep thinking I'm over it and then I feel like crap again. Was hoping I just needed to eat differently or that it was a sleeve thing and would pass. Thanks
