I'm just over 10 weeks post-op and have gastroenteritis. Luckily the stomach cramps haven't been too bad, but they still hurt my poor, tiny tummy.
I'm doing my best to keep drinking fluids, but even water makes my stomach cramp. I was able to get a banana and 1 T of peanut butter down over about 2.5 hours. I think that's all I'll get in today for food, so I'm going to focus on water and even some protein water.
I've lost a couple pounds since this morning which is pure fluids from the diarrhea. I don't want to end up on an IV for fluid loss! Hoping this lets up tomorrow. In the past it's generally lasted about 24 hours, with another day or two of a sensitive tummy. As long as I keep my fluids up, I'm not going to worry about missing my protein goals/vitamins for a couple days.
