Weaker Immune System Now :(



Recommended Posts

So I'm 2 months ... And I keep getting sick. Before I had surgery I got the flu shot to protect me, but no luck :/

So far I've had ear & throat pain, and tested positive for Strep... Started 10 days of antibiotics

My new tummy doesn't like the antibiotics, and I have constant diarrhea... Lucky me lol

I was feeling better- No ear or throat pain, but now I started to get a sinus cold/flu. I feel congested, weak, and my entire body aches :(

And as if that all wasn't enough... I think those antibiotics are causing me to develop an yeast infection... WTFudge!!!!!!

Hi Yasmine, I am pre op and have had the flu shot and still went through what your going through. We are in a flu epidemic so it's kinda expected. Keep your head up, spring is coming. :)

I could have written your post at this very minute! I have missed the last two days of work because of the same things and I am also on 10 days of antibiotics and having problems with them. I started with a liquid and could not tolerate it. I ask for another type that I could crush for shorter amount of time. I went to pick it up and he just gave me capsules that I have to take two of them 4 times a day for 10 days! Geez! I think they are upsetting my stomach. I also had the flu shot before surgery. I have been sick before, but this time it is different. I feel weaker and less able to get over it like am usually able to do. I feel your pain. I hope it will not always be this way.

Your enzymes are probably low due to surgery. Try taking a probiotic or something to increase your enzymes.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
