Ouchy Pouchy - stomach flu

Well, wed. my dad got the flu.  By Thurs at 5:30pm I had the flu.  WHOA Lordy.  First time in four years, since my surgery I had the vomiting flu.  I seriously thought I would die. By midnight I was holding the bucket while sitting on the toilet.  NOT FUN.  By 1:30 I realized I was getting really dehydrated and started drinking water.  Friday I spent in bed, moaning and drinking water....no more vomiting, but wishing I'd bought stock in Charmin. Today I got up the nerve to try a few crackers.  That went well.  But I was so weak in the shower I decided to make a protein shake....thats seems to be going ok.  I'm going to head to the store soon to pick up some immodium, still little issue there. I gotta get better....haven't see Chef Rob since tuesday and we both are going thru withdrawal!!!   My pouch....named BRUENHILDA today...is still not happy, but behaving.   How do you guys deal with this???

Hello.....I am sorry you had been feeling so sick. Glad to hear you are feeling somewhat better now. I haven't throw up at all since surgery.....I can't imagine having the stomach flu....UGH!!! Keep the fluids going in as much as possible. Get plenty of rest and know that I am sending gentle hugs your way!! connie d

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww icky poo ! Im sending you healing vibes !! Feel better soon and keep sippin!

Before WLS I used a heating pad if I got the stomach flu.  I found it soothing.  Don't know if it will still work but don't want to find out either!  Hope you're feeling better soon....... Bonnie

ugh-tummy flu~~hope you feel better soon, sweetie-be careful if the wind is blowing there like it is here, it is not gonna be fun out on the roads.

BTW-in case I never told you-your pic is absolutely beautiful!! hugs- lynn

I just saw on tv that they have had more cases or reported flu here in the last two weeks than they have had all season so far.  I did get a flu shot this year, and although a couple of the flu strains going around are not covered in the shot, they said it should help keep us from getting as sick as others if we contract those types since some of the antibodies are in the shots we got.  Hope you are back to your self soon!
