gastroenteritis anyone? :(

So I have had a stomach bug going on six days. I am a couple days short of two months out. I have had nausea and diarrhea with the occasional vomiting. Also, really bad migraines but no fever at all. I did call my doctor and he said it definitely sounds like a virus not something concerning the surgery and I am feeling a lot better today but through this whole thing I just haven't been able to get more than 2 bites of solid food without vomiting. Now the diarrhea has gone and the nausea as well except for when I eat anything solid I get very nauseas and vomit or want to vomit for like an hour if I manage not to and this is with like one or two bites of food. I guess my question is did anyone else happen to get a bad stomach virus after anytime after surgery and what was our experience? Also, I have gone back to a liquid diet, not so much by choice, but because I just can not stand even the thought of putting solid food in my mouth makes me want to hurl. How long do you guys think this will last? I would really love to eat again. Plus, I feel terrible as I haven't been doing anything right. No vitamins as they make me want to wretch, hardly any protein, limited fluids.

yes!! i've been like this on and off for 2 weeks, diarrhea, vomit and stomach pain. Haven't had any fever and haven't had headaches. Went to my doctor, he said it was a stomach infection, but it could also be a virus. He gave me some medicine, still taking it.

I hope both of you feel better soon. I work in the medical field and of coarse right now the most important thing is fluids and staying away from dehydration. I am sure your stomach needs some time to adjust and feel better from the virus or infection.

Feel better soon...
