I think regardless 32 oz is a good amount. How long do IVs take? Maybe I'll get one before wrk tomorrow

I have a runny nose, I never pee much, and should I grab just the skin? Or fat and skin? Or what?

I'm confused, so then how do you know when you're dehydrated? If you can't rely on any at home methods of checking?

That's what I told my NUT pre op. she said its better just to lose the habit of chewing gum. Lol

I think insurance coverage plays a huge role

I'm drinking my Fluid through a straw as I type. And I have chewed gum but prefer mints now. My NUT also said the issue is the possibility of swallowing it

Have you talked to you NUT about it? Edit: After Checking MFP: I was averaging 500 at one month.

I'm laying back with a straw permanently attached to my mouth. Sipping constantly. Hopefully today will fix me

Face and waist. My legs have lost some too. I hope my shoulders and arms go

Lol, thanks Laura. I think we were sleeved around the same time as well. My fluid intake sucks but other than that it's been smooth sailing for the most part

I slime a lot but I'm okay I suppose

Mixing my Protein drink, I use as little Fluid as possible. If its more than 8 oz, I can't finish it. I suppose if I don't get better by tomorrow I'll go to the doctor or ER

I just find drinking so hard. I can go some days with 4-8 oz of Fluid which is horrible but I just can't seem to do it. I can't imagine drinking 64 oz or more in a day... But these are the consequences I guess. I brought it on myself.

I just can't. I eat fine but liquid just feels odd and I have to practically choke it down. Been that way since day one post op when I was just rinsing my mouth and not drinking the Water. I have the flu. And when speaking to my room mate who has the same, he said he felt this way yesterday but is better today: -out of it - light headed -dry mouth Surprisingly I have gone #2 a lot as well lately. Maybe it's just all in my head? My roomie is fine. Edit: Pee is clear

I know I'm dehydrated and have been since day 1. I don't get enough Fluid in. How do I know when it's at the point that I should go to the hospital. Given that I'm asking, that says a lot about how bad it probably is. But I just want to be sure because unless I'm admitted, and my copay is waived, I can't afford to just go for nothing. Thanks!

Thanks. My cough is pretty much gone and chest has cleared up. I woke up this morning to a dream of throwing up in the toilet and ran to the bathroom but as I haven't eaten, I'm not surprised that nothing came out. But I didn't dry heave. My stomach sounds like it wants relief but it's not like I can "dry poop" I'm so confused. My boss thought I was calling out for the Super Bowl. I wish lol. I'll be in bed. Should I go to the hospital? Or no? I will say I've had a killer headache for 2 days as well

So I went from feverish to okay in 2 days, but now it's a stomach thing. TMI: I've been constipated since post op day 1. I've gone more times now(yesterday) than I have in the past 2 weeks. And I'm nauseous. But I'm not eating. What the hell is this?

Yup, up the butt hole! Lol

Would it be due to stomach irritation that you wouldn't want to do either orally? I would assume we would absorb it at the same rate as a normal person? Or no?

Keloids, like from piercings and such, can have a blister like appearance. I popped 2 of mine from my industrial piercing and they went away for good. It's possible that that's what it could have been. Or a boil

Mucinex, can we take it?

Try low fat mozzarella. Or those baybel cheese wedges or laughing cow wedges

I didn't weigh myself until... My 2 week post op appointment

As far as exercise, wait until your fully healed. Don't pull an incision because you want to start exercise too early. Tuna is a good idea. Hard boiled eggs. Thinly sliced lean deli meats. My fav from my mushier days a slice of turkey around a piece of cheese.

Hot dog skins I have been advised against early on in the surgery. Plus just as you noted, they are high in calories, and low in Protein. Makes me want some sausage, lol, Tuna here I come.
