I started getting the symptoms on Tuesday, feeling tired, nauseous until later that day the nasty D hit me..... along with chills and lower back and leg pains severe pain. No fever though. So Tuesday I didn't eat or drink anything. Late Tuesday night I thought it was over cause I went 6hrs without a problem until 6am Wednesday. Continued to have problems off and on until about 1130am Wednesday . Didn't have any issues  for 10 hours and thought it was over.....until it hit me 2 more times last night...... got some sleep and again I've ad three issues today with my nasty d..... I can seem to drink fine and eat crackers... but if its heavier then crackers I have issues.... I still gave body pains and feel weak and drained out and chills with the nasty d..... my butt is so sore that its stinging and I'm just lost at what to do........I don't remember the stomach viruses I've had in the past do this to me...... what should I do? Funny thing is no one else in the house seems to have caught it....

I hope this message finds you in better spirits.  You need to try stay hydrated with PowerAde Zero and water so you do not end up in hospital.  You may have the flu since you have body pains. I wish you well.

To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

I don't think there are really any special instructions for bypass patients who get sick.  Hydrate and rest!

I had the stomach flu three weeks ago, from Wednesday to Sunday I was sick, then it took me a full week to recover my fluids and start to actually be able to eat again without feeling queasy all the time, finally in the second week after I started to actually feel okay.  I haven't been sick like that in a long time.  I happen to have a doctor appt a few days after the bad part passed and she was soooo upset because I was passing ketones in my urine.  She said to eat eat eat.  I said easier said then done.  I am finally well this week, three weeks later.  It sucked.  Seriously.

Good Luck!
