I have a stomach flu ( I believe) I have not been able to tolerate any food or liquid in 2 days now, my insides are cramping so bad. Of course I have the vomiting and diarrea that comes along with it.
I am doing my best to get in some G2 but it hurts so bad. I dont know what to do!

What works to feel better and stay down? (TMI ALERT) As I pour it in, it comes out and up just as quick. What do I do?

Oh girlie.. I was hoping someone who had better sick RNY knowing would come along, the best I can think of is Pedialyte pops to keep you hydrated and electrolytes up.  You know they come in little containers you can freeze.

I would wonder if Pedialyte would be better than the G2 and easier on your belly?  Maybe sucking on the pop will keep it from going down in a glut and coming back up in a glut?

*squeeze*

I wish I had better things to share girlie.  that's all I have!

And if you cant get fluids to stay down girlie, you might need to call in for a suppository so you can keep stuff down or go get a bag or two of fluids.  Getting dehydrated on top of being sick is going to whip you worse than just being sick!!

I'm all for suppositories!  My Dr. gave me a subscription once and even though I didn't need it I got it filled and it has been a life saver several times.

Stacey,
Hope you feel better.  You might want to call your doctor because you sure don't want to get dehydrated.
I have suppositories and keep them in my refrigerator just in case!
