Really Sick and Kinda Worried

I have had the flu since Christmas Eve and haven't been able to eat a thing. I manage a little soup here and there, but for two days I didn't eat anything. My vitamins make me vomit and it's all I can do to drink some Propel and not cough so hard I vomit again. I am worried that going for almost a week with no vitamins and protein is going to be really bad for me. I know normal people with the flu don't eat and it doesn't really matter, but I was finally back on track from starting my new job and getting my vitamin schedule all worked out. I am switching docs right now so I really have no one to call. My regular doctor is deployed to Iraq and my referall to see the army hospital for my post op care hasn't gone through yet. Any advice?

Please be careful! Hubby was really sick about 3-4 weeks out, couldnt eat, couldnt drink. He was getting MAYBE 10oz in a day---- after 3-4 days we had to spend a night in the emergency room getting IV liquids because he was dehydrated. Not eating isnt a good thing--- but liquids is the biggest issue.... you need to get them in. brother, water, propel anything.... Is your surgeon not available?? Is there not another doctor you could see.... Don't mess with your health....

Beth I feel bad for you spending the holiday like that. Try drinking anything soup anything you got to get those fluids in you will get weak and get sicker than you are. You need to force feed yourself. I hope to god you feel better before the New Year Hugs Barb

Can you go to the ER and get some IV??? It'll just take a few hours and they'll have electrolytes in them and should make you feel better. Can't you phone your surgeon??? I use my surgeon for all of my bariatric questions. paula
