I'm feeling yucky...

I've not had this feeling post op so I'm not sure... For the past 2 days when I eat, I get crampy and have diarrhea. And then I feel worn out. I've been getting in all my liquids. Should I just do liquids for a few days? My doc's won't be available till Monday. (Portsmouth Naval Hospital) Of course if I get worse where I couldn't keep down liquids I'd go to the ER.

Hi Jen - thanks for the card - I realy appreciate it! So sweet of you! Well I am not a doctor so don't take anythiung I say as gospel but I think - if you are not feeling well, it does not do any harm to go liquids for a couple of days. But if you stop being able to take liquids you need to go to the ER immediately if you can't get to your doctor. And if this still continues past a couple of days, you need to go to the doctor too. There are lots of little virus's going about right now or it could have been something you ate. Hang in there Jackie

I think that Jackie is right and just do liquids for 1 or 2 days and come Monday call you doc if necessary. There are some stomach virius going around. Just make sure you get your liquids in.

hey hun, i'm sorry your feeling yucky. get plenty of fluids. call the doc regaurdless monday. we cant take any chances. i hope you are feeling better soon. call me if you need anything.

Sounds like a virus to me.  Rest up & make sure you are getting in lots of liquids!  As you say, go to the er if it gets worse.  You may want to look into something to calm the stomach.  When we were little with diarrhea issues my mom always gave us the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce & toast) things to help stop you up.  It is worth a try.  Hope you feel better soon.

I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you and hope that your bug goes away soon.  HUGGLES!

Jenn - sorry you are feeling yucky.  Sending you healing and feeling good thoughts and prayers.  Lys
