Help - not feeling right



Recommended Posts

I have my first bad cold since my bypass in June 2012.

I got antibiotics for the ear infection and DayQuil for the URI. However something is making me feel like I am on speed. I don't remember driving home yesterday and had to turn around on my way to work today. I am not able to keep much food down as I am throwing things up.

Please help me. I'm not even sure what doctor I should reach out to.

Call your bypass surgeon and let him know what going on. Also DayQuil can make your heart race and make you feel like you are on speed.

I have my first cold since bypass (4/9/12) I have been taking alka seltzer cold and it has helped with the stuffy nose, headache, congestion. I would call you surgeon and see if they can recommend something for you. I would stop taking any cold meds. I hope you feel better :)

My Doc as well told me to stay away from Day/nightQuil products. Told me to stick to Tylenol. They actually have several Tylenol items that have helped me. I also started taking lots of B12 to build my Immune System

Definitely call your surgeon. That sounds dangerous! I too was told no NyQuil or DayQuil. My surgeon recommends Tylenol cold. I hope you get this figured out and start feeling better soon.

BBdoodle: isn't alca seltzer carbonated? Bubbly? My understanding is that is a big no-no. Please check with your md. It could hurt you.

Day quil can do that...also you absorb things differently . Talk to md that prescribed ear infection drug tell him/her.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
