Feelin weak and sleepy

for the 1st time since my surgery I havent been feeling well,I am getting in protein and water and all my vitamins etc,,but monday night I started not to feel well and didnt keep soup down,,I called into work on tuesday cause I woke up with a headache and feeling woozy,,my tummy bothers me even when I drink water,,esp anything flavored water,,has anyone expiereinced this ?

Liz, Sorry to hear you are not feeling well.  Have you called Dr. Spaw?  And, when you do not feel well, are you drinking hot or cold liquids?  Early on, I did not tolerate cold liquids at all.  They hurt my tummy.  Warm liquids helped.  It was like my tummy clamped shut!  But the warm drinks helped relax it and made it feel better. Can you try some warm decaf tea or warm broth of some kind?  Let us know how you are doing and what your doctor says....  Good job on getting your protein, vitamins and liquids in.  Its very hard to do so early on!

I havent called Dr Spaw yet,,when I drink liquids it is at room temp,,I dont like thing'scold and I drink water,,I do ok with broth,,

Could be the crud that is going around.  I have been sick for 2 weeks this time, can't seem to shake it and a major bad headache is part of the symptoms.  I say it is aa mix of flu and pneumonia.  I feel like I have been run over by a semi.  Hope you feel better soon.

I just had an intestinal bug (gastroenteritis). It is going around all over the state.  I did have to go in and get a liter of IV fluid because it is really easy for us to become dehydrated.  Drink plenty of liquids if possible and watch for signs of dehydration (tenting of skin when pinched between thumb and forefinger, decrease in urine output, tiredness) and call the doctor ASAP if any of them show up!  Hope you feel better soon!

Call Dr. Spaw!  Better safe than sorry.  Try to get as much liquic as you can...maybe sugar free popcicles?  Shaved ice?  Anything.  The "bug" is going around but you must be very careful because you are a delicate flower and you mustn't wilt!
