6 days post op and hubs and I are ill!

So yesterday hubby was complaining of aching all over, low grade temp and just generally feeling nasty. This morning I wake up will minor chills, low grade fever and the same achy, nasty feeling. Neither one of us has had any GI distress. Just the "what the hell is going on?" aches. I don't know whether to be cold or hot. Sounds like a bug to me, you think? I have looked over my incisions to be on the safe side and they are doing just fine. I think I'll just amp up the fluids today, keep taking the Tylenol and wait it out before calling the doc. Any suggestions?

Sounds like the flu or a bug to me also.  PLEASE take care of yourself being so newly post op.   Make sure if you can to get your vitamins down especially your vitamin C's.    Push the protein drinks if you can tolerate them....protein aids in healing.    Praying for you and your hubby.   If you don't feel better in a few days you may want to call and notify your doctor.    Hope you feel better soon.   Oh you can dehydrate extremely quickly after WLS so it is VERY important to push the liquids but only sip since you are newly post op and don't take in too much at a time.

Please keep an eye on your fluids!  We have a harder time making sure that we stay hydrated when we're ill.  Your hubby can bounce back faster because his stomach isn't as small.  

I developed a CDiff infection about 10 days post op and was readmitted for the infection and dehydration.  I was surprised at how it affected me and wiped me out.  It's been a week and I'm still drained.

Take care of you!

Thank you for the feedback, ladies. My husband is already feeling better so it looks like a 24 hr thing. Hopefully I'll be feeling better by morning! I'll keep drinking, drinking, drinking.
