Sigh not having a good day..

First off I woke up sick to my stomach still (I'm on day 6 of vomiting) and just feeling miserable. I am sleeping hours upon hours to rest because my body is sooo exhausted. I'm getting some of my fluids in but I've not eaten anything other than liquids in 3 days. I talked to Marta this afternoon and they seem to think I've got the stomach bug thats been going around. The pain is probally because my pouch is aggervated and swollen and all that fun stuff. I'm gonna try and call and see if my PCP will give me something else for nausea because Phennergan and Zofran aren't cutting it. I forgot to ask Marta because when she called I was just getting out of bed for the second time today. I seriously have nooo energy whatsoever. She said Dr. C doesn't wanna scope me because my last scope was normal (she said my last two but the one before the one in Dec I got dilated ). I'm just soo tired. :( I can't wake up for any amount of time. Yesterday I had a really bad dizzy spell in the shower and had to get help to get out because everything was spinning. If it continues I'll probally go to the local ER to try and get some fluids because even though I'm managing to get some in I know with the vomiting I'm probally not keeping it all in. I have been tube feeding some but when I do that I start heaving really bad and it just hurts even worse. She told me just to do clear liquids which thats all I've been trying for days now and not even keeping them in everytime. Then to add to it I got a note in the mail today saying my appointment with the Liver Specialist isn't happening and I had to call to reschedule. Soo I called and it's rescheduled for April 4 which isn't a whole lot longer than 3/28 but when you just want answers it's a life time. Anyways I'll quit my whining, has anyone had this stomach bug going around?? Did it last this long?? Anyone have any advice?? I just want some relief.

i dont have any advice for  specially being a preop but wanted to let you know i am thinking of you. i know what you mean by just wanting an answer. i just wish you could catch a break and start feeling better. it seems just as you start to get better, something else starts up. unfortunately at this point all i can do is send you lots of ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))) !!!!

I had the stomach bug and I  for 24 hours then I had the nausea for about a week.  I hope all is well with you and it is only the bug. Rest rest rest  Robin

Thanks hon. The past couple months the nausea and stuff had really been doing better. I was still having a bad day or two a week or so but for the most part I was doing so much better. I just hope this clears up soon.

I feel your pain..  I had the stomach flu last week,  I spend two days in bed.  I was super nauseated and my stomach was spasming but I couldn't puke.  NOTHING would come up.  My stomach swelled up so bad that my band tightened up on me and I couldn't even swallow water. Nothing was going in OR out.   Anything I tried to sip on all pooled at the base of my throat.  But my body was determined to purge itself so it just started coming out the other end.  Violently, I might add..  I did get dehydrated.  Only peed once that day and I lost 7 pounds in 24 hours.  Felt like total crap.  I called Marta and she assured me that nothing that could happen to my band could cause me to have the runs like that...  She said if I continue to go like that and can't drink then I need to go to ER and get some fluids in.  She told me to keep trying and she called me the next morning to make sure I was hanging in there.  I spiked a temp one night of 101.9 but I really think it was more due to the dehydration.  The brunt of it lasted about 24 hours (8 solid hours on the pot.  I think I still have the imprint of the toilet seat on my a$$!) )  but it took a couple days after that for me to get my strength back and rehydrate.  The morning I woke up with a temp of 100.8 and realized I could now swallow water, I put down 2-20 oz bottles in record time.  And kept drinking and eating popsicles till my lips were blue.  Temp went to normal and I felt  WAY better.  NOW Ithink I am coming down with some other bug.  I have a sinus headache, my nose runs and I keep sneezing.  My ears feel funny, my throat feels kinda dry and scratchy, I feel REALLY exhausted and I am going to bed early tonight!  I HATE this time of year!  Cooties are everywhere!  I hope you get better REAL soon!
