Please feel sorry for me

JSS1002

I have the stomach flu or something. Went out for dinner last night, after being exhausted for the past few days, and woke up at 2 AM with stomach cramping, diarrhea, and vomiting... no temp.... I feel like I've been hit by a bus and this is NOT how I wanted to spend the few days before Christmas. :-(

DH just went to the store (in the snow), to get me some stuff, and I am on the sofa trying not to cry, barf, poop, or all three. :-(

Brutal.  THis has been going around my office and I was hoping to evade it, but I guess not.

Oh JSS! I am so sorry! That is the worst! I had it last year at Christmas and so did my husband and son. It was terrible and so contagious. A word of advice- if there is any debate about what end it's going to come out of, choose to sit on the toilet and puke into a bag. I made the wrong choice last year and boy did I regret that, lol! At least I can laugh about it now.

Ugh, I think I know exactly what you're talking about - had that horrifying experience once with a bad bout of food poisoning.

I'm hosting Chrismas Eve and Christmas dinner... this is NOT what I needed right now.

I DO feel sorry for you. I had the same thing three weeks ago and it's no fun having to run to take a poop while holding a baby. Feel better soon.

You have my sympathy for sure, I pray its just a quick and nasty bug thats gone tomorrow!

I totally feel sorry for you. This went through our house last Christmas and was zero fun. I'm just hoping we wait till after the holidays this year but I'm sure it's coming. Take care!!

OMG ughhh so sorry! I had something similar at the end of my pregnancy and it was HORRIBLE. Stick to the BRATS diet and drink plenty of fluids. I lived off of Gatorade and applesauce for a couple of days. Feel better!

I had it two days ago, it was AWFUL. I laid in bed and cried and rolled around. Mine was just a 24hr thing and then I was able to get out of bed. I'm still not 100% but I can function!! Hope it goes by fast!

Thanks ladies - I've been hydrating and have had a few saltines today and that is it... still not feeling great but haven't puked in a couple of hours, so that's good.

At least this might help combat holiday lbs and your next WW weigh-in??

But seriously yuck - no fun. Feel better.

I have heeded this advice twice since you wrote it.  Rough day.  :-(

For reals. The stomach flu got me to my goal weight, and a cold right afterward got me under prepregnancy weight!

Thank you - as of right now, 8:30 PM, I think I'm pretty much better. I just got hungry, so I'll take that as a good sign.  Obviously not working tomorrow so I can really get better (and get ready for Tuesday evening!)

Oh no... just had the same thing last weekend, and it was awful. Sounds like you are past the worst of it...mine only lasted a day. Gatorade and chicken broth were my friends. Get well vibes coming your way!

Hope you are feeling a bit better now!  I was feeling terrible that we are sick with sore throats and stuffy heads here, but I am sorry you are dealing with something much, much worse.  Hope it passes quickly!
