Vomiting and diarrhea , no fever or pain



Recommended Posts

Possibly just a stomach bug? I have no pains just on and off vomiting and diarrhea since about 2am. Managed to get some fluids and 1 and a half shakes in so far. 13 days out still on all shakes . I do have aunt flow pretty bad and maybe it's that??

If you are still feeling like that tomorrow, you should call your doctor (if you can't reach them today)...just to be sure that you aren't dehydrated or something... they may want to be sure...plus vomiting so close out is so not good for your tummy... hope you feel better soon.


Take care!

Probably Norovirus.

Good news is Noro is about 24 hrs and then done, but it can take 3 days for a healthy person to get back to normal Fluid levels...

I'm doing the diarrhea thing now (well actually my doc ok'd me for an Imodium pill and that's helped a ton!) .... When I was 1 week postop my kid was throwing up, and again at 3 weeks postop so it was pretty much inevitable that I'd get it. She's a toddler and goes to daycare - it's like a bioweapons testing facility, for serious.

Call your doc and notify - this soon after surgery they may want to check you out... Or do you have an appointment tomorrow? If I had been sick in my first 2 weeks they'd have had me on an IV right away, after ONE bout of either diarrhea or vomiting. Since now it's "just" diarrhea and I am well into my 4th week, it's a little different.... The nurse called me back and said to take one Imodium and call in the morning if I was still having problems.

I've been majorly nauseated all day but I've managed to not puke (YAY!) but BOY did I want to a few times...

Hang in there!!

I had that for about a week last month!
I was like what the hell is this I don’t feel sick!
I didn’t try to eat much just some Soup drink my tea and shakes even if I was puking them up right after I just kept drinking them as I thought well some of it would absorb and I don’t want to be dehydrated!
It also might be why I lost 11lbs in feb lol

At 13 days out, I would be going to the emergency room to be checked in...if you are vomiting w/diarrhea, you are in fact dehydrated as your body is unable to replenish Fluid intake. Just because you do not have any of the other symptoms does not mean that you are not dehydrated. please be checked out, chances are you will need iv fluids for a day. fell better soon

I spent all day Friday at the hospital getting tests and Iv fluids. They found nothing wrong and sent me home nice and hydrated. Doc said if I'm feeling like I can't get in the fluids to just come back every few days for an Iv if needed. But I was able to drink okay on Saturday! Still diarrhea but no more vomit thankfully!! I was able to progress to stage 2 and have some yogurt and a scrambled egg over the weekend. Just had some puréed Soup for dinner I'm so excited to "chew" again and not just drink from a cup :)

If you're having a specific viral diarrhea and your doc OKs it, then yes.... But not all diarrhea is the same - if you might have food poisoning for instance, Imodium isn't a good plan.

Definitely check with your doc first!!! I didn't go for about 48 hours, then finally am back on track.

Elfnow is right. My recurring diarrhea is from a Clostridial infection and the last thing I should take is Imodium. This particular bug produces toxins that need to come out, not sit around in my colon. And there's only one way out :{

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
