Could this just be a bug or something to be concerned about?

Today I have not been able to keep much food down and generally feel icky and listless. It started this morning, felt light-headed and wound up losing my breakfast. Nibbled on a bit of dry protein bar later in the morning and made sure to keep drinking but felt extremely faint, even while sitting down. Threw up lunch but kept some protein pudding down a while later. Since I'm doing ok with liquids I plan to have some protein soup for dinner so I can get in as much protein as possible. I am 1 yr out from my RNY and in good health, take my vitamins every day and make sure I get my protein. I've had more than enough water and am still drinking, so it's not dehydration. Thought about anemia, but I took my iron both yesterday and today. So wondering just what's going on, whether it's just some sort of bug (I work closely w/ the public), something else I should be getting in, or something to actually worry over. Either way, I've been banned from work tomorrow since my supe says she doesn't want me to either pass out or spread something contagious since we're understaffed. Which means I'll be getting plenty of rest and, if I still feel cruddy, calling my doctor in the afternoon. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks in advance.
