over doing it

So I'm almost two weeks post op. Monday which was day six post op I felt good so went and did some shopping. Tuesday I started feeling like crap. Yesterday I woke up with a fever and had to go get a chest xray. Nothing but a cold but I have felt like crap for days. My advice rest and relax and allow yourself to heal.

There is a lot of nasty illness going on around here now. I would doubt your surgery had anything to do with getting sick, you just happen to have both your RNY recovery and illness at the same time. Feel better soon!

I can tell you from experience that my immune system was very sluggish for at least 6 months after surgery. I had adhesions removed and a intestinal blockage repaired at the same time as rny. It took forever for the slightest boo boo to heal. You really need to take care of yourself and make sure you get enough protein. I had a really hard time getting in protein and I know that heavily contributed to the slow healing.

You didn't over do anything, you caught a cold.  Sitting around after surgery is unhealthy, walking is the best medicine for recovery from surgery. 

What was the result of the chest xray?  Better to have a cold then a blood clot.
