Help! I Have The Stomach Virus/flu



Recommended Posts

***please dont read if you have a weak stomach***

Im in so much pain, last night I tried to vomit but to no avail. Dry heaving and frothy bile but no contents. :( I called my surgeon and he said if it got worse that he would remove some Fluid. I wish i was told that this could cause issues. It hurts so bad i want to crawl up and die. Anyone else experience this?

No, thank God! This is one of my biggest fears because when you vomit the stomach contracts and the band could slip. I currently have a cold but I am thinking about asking my doctor to give me a prescription for an anti-viral. I am allergic to eggs and cannot have the Flu shot so an anti-viral is the best I can do. You might want to up your Vitamin D for the duration of flu season. I get a 5000 IU gel cap from Puritan's Pride website. Good luck to you.

Would anti nausea medication help? You could ask for a suppository because you can't keep anything down right now. I hope you feel better soon.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
