Ugh! I'm 2 months out and u have the stomach flu. Don't/ can't eat or drink anything without getting sick. How or what am I supposed to take or do? I don't want to get dehydrated and end up in the E.R.

Call your doctor! I have strep throat and a sinus infection my doctor told me take anything I want to if it's not gone in a few days "4" go to a urgent care or make an appointment with my pcp.

My doctor said that throwing up is NEVER normal after the sleeve... He said if you feel sick to call the office and get a Rx called in for you. NOT fun. Good luck!!

If your doctor said you have the stomach flu, he should also tell you what to eat or drink. Try broth and gatorade. Add your Protein if you can tolerate. I have colitis and I had surgery 4 days ago. My problem isn't it coming out the top end, just the bottom (sorry).

I am going to try rice milk next as dairy makes the problem worse. I can mix bananas into the protein so that helps. As do the HUGE antiobiotic pills that i have to cut up into 8s to get down. Hang in there

Thanks. I haven't called or seen a dr. For this as it just started this.morning. My husband.had it a couple of days ago.

I'm not throwing up just stomach cramps, diarrhea (sorry tim) light headache and lightheaded.

I had some crackers earlier but went right thru.

I'm drinking some crystal light.
