4 wks post op I don't think I am doing so good
Well today is 4 wks since I had RNY @ the Barix ..
I feel Ok I guess , But I find that I am TIRED ALOT !
also the last couple of days I am really having a hard time eating , and Drinking . I make myself eat and drink but it takes everything I have to do it .
I get in my protein every day ( if not my required amount very very close to it )
2 days ago I had flu like sympatoms and was puking and doing # 2 most of the day .. it pasted thank god . But I still feel like crap my gut makes ( what feels to me like Bubbles) everytime I drink and sometimes when I am neither drinking or eating, I find it very strange . I have no pain . But I do go to the bathroom #2 ALOT like atleast 6-7 times a day sometimes more ! Usually right after I eat !
is this all normal due to the healing process ???
It sounds to me like you have the flu and that's complicating your healing process. Is you MD aware of your #2 issue? I would definitely contact your doctor and see what you can do to help with your symptoms. Again, I really think your sickness is causing you to not eat or drink anything and not due to the surgery. Please keep me posted and t ake care!

Hang in there. The first two months I had horrible diarhria(sp). Sometimes I would go 12x a day. I was raw! Anyway, it got better and things settled down. I also had nausea every day often and my surgeon stated it was normal to about 3 months. It lasted about 2 months. Now I feel great, but I am plateauing for last 3 wks. Have lost 2 lbs...ackkkkkk
It will pass and you will feel better.
