Stomach bug after surgery



Recommended Posts

My loving toddler decided to share his stomach bug with me and I spent the better part of last night vomiting out my soul. It lead me to wonder what happens if you get sick like that post op? Has anyone experienced that? My stomach was spasming so much, can a sleeved stomach even do that?

I can’t imagine it would be fun...at all...but some people are nauseous after surgery and vomit several times as well and they survive it. I imagaine Thats one of those things like appendicitis that would really stink during but you get through it and live to tell the story about it. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen to anyone.

vomiting after surgery is WAY easier than vomiting before surgery. I no longer dread it. For one thing, your stomach is much smaller, so there's not much in there to vomit up. Plus you don't have much acid in your stomach, either, so you don't get that awful taste in your mouth. If you vomit up chocolate pudding, for example, it tastes the same coming up as it did going down. It's kind of like when a baby "spits up" after eating.

I got sleeved on 3/31 and got the stomach bug from my toddler on 4/6! it was awful. I panicked but my doctor said it was completely fine. I just didnt eat or drink for a few hours and then only had water/gatorade zero. I also had some Zofran and that helped!

Thanks all, this is reassuring. It's been a rough week with the whole family not feeling well and it just unleashed a new worry about after surgery that I had never considered.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
