oktwigs Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I've been doing great since my 4/3/07 surgery with Dr. Oritiz...until the dreaded stomach flu hit me yesterday! Unfortunately I did throw up a little, but thankfully it wasn't violent and it was short-lived. I spent all day yesterday stretched on the couch only sipping water. I tried to have some broth in the evening, but that sent my stomach in waves of cramping and nausea. Ugh...time for anti-nausea pills. Today I seem to be able to hold down jello without any nausea. I'll stay on clear liquids through tomorrow I think and then go back to full liquids. I've just got a little over a week left of my three week post-op liquid diet! Hip Hip Hooray!

I hope you feel better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oktwigs Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Does Dr Ortiz give you something for the nausea to take home in case you get sick I have heard terrible things about vomiting. He didn't, but recommended you visit your PCP to get something. My vomiting hit me so quickly I didn't even have a chance to take anything to prevent it. Thankfully it wasn't violent or repeated and since I feel fine today I figure I'm probably ok. I picked up some OCT anti nausea and when I see my PCP next time I will ask for a prescription. I haven't had the flu for years and years and so figured it really wasn't something to worry about...little did I know my grandson was packing around the flu bug when we kept him Easter night.
