The Stomach Flu with no stomach?



Recommended Posts

Being as I have three little kids and we do have the pukes pass thru our house at least once a year, how does that work when you only have a pouch and not a stomach?

Can I get a free pass on the stomach virus forever??

Great question because it would be awful dry heaving for 24+ hours (based on the little bit of food we have in our bellies).

No pass on stomach flu. If you are beyond the "Weight Loss" phase and into maintenance, there might be a single bright spot. You may lose 5 to 10 additional pounds at the end and if you try hard, you might add this to your total weight loss.

i would like to know this too, i have vomited a few times from eating wrong thing or my stomach not liking something and i tell you it's 10 times better than pre op - no yuky stomach acid, just saliva and the actual food a bit munched up.

So I am sure with 3 young kids also it's only a matter of time until i get ill but i won't be as scared of vomiting as i'd take dry wrenching and a bit of vomit over disgusting smelling and tasting high volume stuff per op any day!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
