Can i expect gastric bugs to drag on postop?

[Dell]

Because I feel absolutely foul still I'm never ill, I felt 100% better than this straight after my op!

I've been advised by dietician, to eat what I can, when I can with plenty of fluids, but everything I've eaten has resulted in hideous nausea and quite a bit of pouch pain. I'm exhausted, constant headache, just feel completely awful

I'm not a bug type person, none of us are, so I don't know what's normal, if I need to see anyone else etc.

I'd go see the gp then if I were you. I don't get more bugs post op, what I do find though is when I get them my pouch can be affected for longer, even when all other symptoms have gone. For example I had norovirus a month ago which lasted 3 days, but I was still nauseaus when eating a good week later. I took anti-emetics fir a few weeks and was ok though.

Are you taking lansoprazole post op? I know a lot of surgeons prescribe it to prevent excess stomach acid. I just ask because I was on it for several months a while ago and had a lot of stomach bugs because without the acid, it's harder for your digestive system to get rid of anything nasty that turns up in your stomach. I had a lot of vomiting and diarrhoeah, the worst I've ever had.
