Food Poisoning after WLS

Ok, you'd think with the tiny tummy I have that food poisoning would not be an issue. WRONG! I got sick after eatingChinese food friday night. Now, I never throw up. Actually, I physically have problems doing it without it being self-induced (you know, stuck food.). I was sick as a dog! We think it was salmonella, but I won't know for sure til Monday/Tuesday when my lab results come back. Yikes! I had Food Poisoning years ago and it was bad. The only difference now is that I didn't have much left in me after having it come out of both ends (if you know what I mean?), I ended up at urgent care and got 2 bags of fluid because of dehydration and a couple of shots and sent home. I feel like a have a really bad hangover but I'm better. Sticking to liquids for a couple of days. The pouch is very angry at me right now. God, I don't even want to think about food. That is the last time I will go to Chinese Buffet. I think the culprit was some seafood I ate. Never Again!!!!!!! Jane

Wow, sounds like a fun way to kill a weekend. I have not braved Chinese at all but I haven't branched out a whole lot anyways because I don't want to stifle my weight loss; 114 down but another 114 to goal. Sorry you go sick but glad you got help and rejuvenated,...or was that PUMPED UP?? Take care of yourself and better luck in the futrue. Maybe layoff the asian Louisiana blackened, sweet and sour catfish.

Usually seafood and I get along pretty well. I eat shrimp like three times a week. I think it was the stuffed crab they had on the buffet that did it. I feel better this evening, not 100%, but better. Sipping Tea and sticking to soup and my standby soy crisps for now.

Glad you are better and holding stuff down again. Love your smile. Great profile pic. I've had women at work warn me about seafood on buffets; they say if that seafood stuff sits too long, it can make you sick, better to order from the menu. We have a Chinaman Buffet chinese place locally and it has gotten a few folks at work from lunch gathering. Its kinda the standing joke now when there is a going-away or retirement luncheon, if they have it there,...they are trying to get rid of you,...long-term!!

wow!Jane I am so sorry to hear that. I love Chinese and can still eat it but stick to the protein and I eat seafood too. A couple of times I have had a fleeting thought about what would happen if it made me ill and so now I know - make sure I also make a trip to the emergency room.... I sure hope you start to feel better soon... an angry pouch is not nice!! Jackie

Wow Jane!!!!! That super sux!!! I hear ya on the throwing up issues.........I never can do it either.........even when something is stuck, I just have to live w/it till it clears. I have to say too, I have a really tough lil tummy and there are almost no foods that don't agree with me. The only exception is CHINESE food!!! I tried it 1 time in the first year......felt like shyt for hours..........then again recently..........felt like shyt for hours again!!! Must be something to it I guess. Anyways, I hope you are feeling better really soon!!! XOOXOXOXOOX Sharon

Yikes Jane....and ouch. Take care of yourself and get better. I have had food poisoning before and wow. I hope you get to feeling better soon!!! (((hugs))) Anna
