At home sick and first experience puking non WLS related

Nov 04, 2009

Well I woke up early this morning with the pukers.. not WLS related from what I can tell.. I have had a runny/stuffy nose bug for a few days and last nite I didn't feel well at all (flu like) so I popped some tylenol and went to bed.

This morning I woke up so dizzy I could barely stand up let alone walk to the bathroom- I knew I was going to puke! I was like wtf? because I had only puked from eating too fast (or from my whole retarded pouch aversion to chicken) or a couple times the wrong thing.. and that was within a few minutes of eating it... Puked for like an hour this morning.. being that we have no stomach any more, it was highly unpleasant.. I dry heaved for most of it. I never ever want to get the non-food related pukes again.. it was awful and my pouch seemed sore for hours afterward...

So I called into work.. I could barely stand up.. Let dog out.. all while hobbling around all dizzy... managed to whirl up a protein shake and practically crawled back up the steps and got into bed. slowly sipped protein shake (i doubled teh milk to get liquids in) and then went back to bed. I woke up around 9 because dog wanted to go out again.. I no longer had the spins... I called the WLS office to reassure myself I was doing what I was supposed to do.. she said clearly I was dehydrated if I was getting the spins.. the rest sounds like a bad cold or a bug i picked up... Push fluids as hard as I could.. if I still was dizzy in the afternoon I should call her back and they'd get me in the ER for dehydration... well I didn't want that so I drank 20 oz of water as fast as i could... too fast.. made the pouch hurt.. then went bakc to bed

woke up around 1 and felt better... still sick but not spinny, not feeling dehydrated, and i drank some more water.. then called the WLS  office back and reported how much liquids i had drank, and she said good job, keep drinking, don't forget about sf popsicles if you have any (which i did from surgery back in june) and i sucked on a few of those...

lemme tell ya.. the flu is not fun.. and my tummy still hurts.. as does my head and my stupid nose wont' stop running.. whaa
