Why Do I Continue To Get Sick.



Recommended Posts

About 2 weeks after surgery I got pleurisy and pnomnia. A week later I get mono. I week after that get a sinus cold. And now I have strep. I can't win. I take my Vitamins and I drink my Water. I am getting the right amount of Protein. Why is this happening... What can I do? I am tired of being sick every other week.

I'm 4 weeks out and 2 days after surgery I got a horrible cold! Sneezing, coughing everything! Then I got my wounds infected, then I got a uti from all the antibiotics and not drinking enough water! I Haven't gotten sick this week though!!! Hopefully the sickness strike is over soon for you!!!

That pneumonia is a killer! Make sure your doctor has given you antibiotics to totally eradicate the infection. If you're still having lingering problems, it may be time for some blood work to determine if you still have an infection. Good luck!!

First off pneumonia is a common problem with people that have had a major surgery. This happens as we become more sedintary. We seem to rest, sit and lay around more after surgery. That is why they want you up and moving so that the Fluid does not collect in your lower lungs. You are also probably not taking in deep breaths as you have pain and discomfort with this activity. This does not let your lungs completely expand and can cause problems that can lead to pneumonia. I would suggest taking deep breaths to help expand those lungs. Some of your other things have probably come due to a decrease in your fluids. For the UTI you can try drinking some Diet Cranberry juice which I find very refreshing over some ice. It has 5 calories per serving.

You may also be getting the sinus infection from being around others as you immune system is lowered after having a major surgery. This can happen to any of us.

I would try and get in your fluids, take your Vitamins and get some exercise including deep breaths.

I hope that this all stops for you and you start to feel better and more like yourself. I know that being down for a long period of time is not much fun. Hang in there and things will start to improve for you. Small steps.

I have never had a UTI with this surgery. I want to know how to get my immune system to go back to the way its suppose to be.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
