I am about 6 weeks post op.
I've already called my bariatric office and left a message.
About 10 days ago my husband had a stomach bug that we thought was food poisoning from him getting Chinese take out. It lasted three days.
This morning, I woke up and felt "not right." Then I started to get nauseous. I took a zofran and drank half a protien shake with some decaf. Four hours later, I popped another Zofran because the nausea came back. I went to the bathroom and had diahreah, but once the zofran kicked in again I felt better.
Now, I'm having this strange gurgle pains going through my intestines. (I think it's my intestines at least.) I ate a sf Popsicle and I felt it travel all the way through.
I haven't thrown up at all but I thank the zofran for that because I truly think I would be otherwise.
I've had no complications at all, I think everything is healing okay inside. I haven't had any pain anywhere. Yesterday I was packing some boxes and now I feel a little like I did some ab work from bending and moving around.
Usually, I would take pepto or Imodium and go from there--but I've had issues being "backed up" two times in the recent past and I don't wanna constipate myself.
Is the gurgling all the way down thing normal?
Should I take some pepto and tough it out later?
Should I try saltines? I've been the anti carb since I started.
