What is with this weird hiccuping after eating or drinking anything? I had surgery 9/30/14 and it is still going strong. Does it ever stop?

I have had the stomach flu with severe diahrea for the past 4 days. The rest of my family had it for only a day. I have been in severe pain and have never had stomach flu like this. I have been drinking Water pretty well, at least 60 ozs a day, but not eating. I worry about electrolytes as I feel so weak and tired and I get dizzy when up and around too long. Has anyone else had the flu and was it worse since your surgery? I had surgery 9/30/14. I have lost 10 pounds in the past 4 days. Any advice on how to get more electrolytes?

I had Rny and have no regrets at all. Very happy with recovery and my weight loss so far. Almost 100 pounds now!

I am at 93 pounds lost since 12/9/13. Surgery date was 9/30/14. So excited to hit that century mark!

The funny thing for me is that nothing tastes as good as I thought it would. Usually I would go for walks and that helped.

I was terrified in the surgery room. I could barely talk. I saw all of the tools lying against the wall being prepared for my surgery and I almost got off the table. I was able to focus on a calming anesthesiologist and calm myself and also my surgeon's PA came in and seeing his face just before falling asleep was the best thing that happened. When I woke up I was comfortable and relieved it was over. It was a long night in the hospital walking and trying to drink etc. however by morning the day after surgery I was feeling so much better and stronger and able to get down Water and milk and broth as needed. Very happy now with my surgery. Adjusting to what I can and can not eat but it's getting easier.

I am nearly 4 weeks out and had the same experience last week when I ate 1 piece of Mongolian Beef. Was sick with severe pain and vomiting for almost 24 hours. Not sure if it was the sugar content in the sauce or the beef. Horrible experience that I believe was dumping. Not going to make that mistake again any time soon!

I am two weeks out and my weight-loss stopped also. I lost 20 pounds the first two weeks and now it has been four days and the scale has not moved except this morning I gained 1 pound. I know it's not from eating, Because I have not gone over 400 cal per day. I'm glad to hear that others are having the same experience and I'm anxious to get through this stall.

I started blended diet yesterday. Day two was harder but not as hard as I thought it would be. Already concerned about variety. My dr wants blended food not shakes. Anyone have suggestions?

My dr today said the shakes are not in line with his program so they will not write the scripts. He also said the scar cream is a scam.

I'm having surgery on September 30 as well. I've been having the same cravings with a lot of different types of foods I know I won't ever eat again. I don't know if it's right or wrong. I'm still following my diet more days than I'm not and I'm still losing weight. I start my preop diet on September 15 and I'm very nervous about it. How about you?

Has anyone had success with this lately? I submitted but have not heard back in a while.

I am having surgery at u of I on 9/30. I would love to know how you are doing and any advice or suggestions you have. Happy to connect with someone local.

I was just scheduled yesterday for September 30. I would love to buddy with you. Starting to feel a little overwhelmed and not sure what to start preparing. Wondering if I should start to buy Vitamins or Protein supplements now or wait until after? Start my 2 week blended diet on 9/16 and that will be the end of eating as I know it, forever. Feels very strange. Marianneva, what is your date? Where are you at? I am in Iowa.
