My baby caught the bug a few days ago...now my wife has it. I am trying not to get it. I am only about 1 month post op. I am washing every 30 minutes. Wish me luck

I'm still not feeling well two weeks after I caught a bug (flu) from somewhere. It has been rough

I had a bout with the norovirus earlier this month. I was a little more than three months out and while I was only sick for a week, it took me another two weeks to recover completely. The sleeve is not sickness friendly

I got the flu 2 weeks post op. it was not fun at all. Lost 5 lbs in a few days and was very dehydrated for two weeks after. Make sure you don't get dehydrated that really hurt me for about two weeks. I was barely able to walk i was so weak. Fingers crossed that you don't get it!!

Let's see.

3rd week: cold -1 week and took a lot of NyQuil

5th week: cold - same

2 month: flu - 2 weeks, high fever and generally miserable

3 month: staph infection (weird on my head) - lasted for 3 weeks and painful. Went away with antibiotics.

6 month: flu - 3 week. Worst flu I have ever had and kept me in bed for first 3 days. Last month. Got so dehydrated because I had trouble drinking Water and the flu robbed a lot of water.

Definitely have been getting sick more after surgery. I used to only get sick once a year if that. There were some stretches where it would be 3-4 years of no colds or flus when over weight. I think part of the problem is that I visited the clinic quite a number of times post op for various reasons. Even though I am careful about using purell there, opening door handles, etc, it is hard to avoid the many other sick people in the clinic.

It is strange. I am generally very healthy. Take my Vitamins and supplements every day. Eat the high Protein and high amounts of water. I have lost a lot of weight in 7 months, most of it during first 6 months.

Oh well, small price to pay for being healthy in terms of physical fitness and diet.

I got the flu at 3weeks out and have had in for 9 weeks! I am only getting better now with antibiotics. I guess the cold turned into the flu and flu turned into pharyngitis then larengytisis then upper respiratory infection......ALL IN 7 weeks.
