Bad day

Today no matter what I ate I felt sick. I barely ate anything all day. When I ate supper (about 4 1/2 hours ago) it didn't stay down.

My question is is it normal to have days like this sometimes? This has never happened to me before.

Whatever it is I hope I feel better tomorrow!

Yes its normal. Your pouch is still deciding what foods it will like now. Most likely you are still healing. How far out are you?

At least keep hydrated, sip on water all day
Can you tolerate that?
Do not let yourself get dehydrated like I did
Go back to just fluids for a day or 2
If this continues for another day plz call Doc
Keep us posted and feel better

Yes it happens. I got mine done on Dec 7, 2012 and I still have days when nothing sets right. Lost a days work yesterday due to something not setting right. Folks tell me it will get better in time. I have a buddy at work who is 2 months ahead of me he got his in October. He seems to have more probelms than I do.
