I love water. Before surgery I would drink almost 3 liters a day. I bought some pedialyte to try. But I am craving water.

Woke up in pain this a.m. Holding on to hope of a resolution.

tried crystal light.

that was before the eight bags of fluids.

ive tried both even purified and distilled. Tonight I tried warm to hot water it's still cramping but not as bad. I've never wanted anything more right now than to just drink a cup of water.

For TMI purposes if your urine looks like this. Tell your doctor. mine was almost brown.

ive tried room temp. warm soups and cold smoothies work. I can eat. I've had puréed mashed potatoes, even puréed turkey burger. My protein shakes are fine. Skim milk. Orange juice sometimes. I want to drink water so bad. I begged the bariatric surgery team to let me go home Thursday. I promised the senior resident I would call if it didn't get better. I don't know why I have cramping in my chest when drinking water. I'm going to try "thick it" in my water to maybe help me tolerate it. They took an X-Ray and a Cat scan Wednesday but I can't have contrast because of my iodine allergy. I go back to clinic on Wednesday.

ive tried it all. I'm tired of hurting. And I refuse to go back to the ER.

Still pain when I drink water. No problem with oj, milk, etc. taking my meds with water almost made me pass out with pain. I don't know what the issue is.

we've all went through buyers remorse. It'll get better says all of them that have gone ahead before us.

i don't think she may be comfortable with that and it's okay.

on the bright side it can be beneficial by removing excess air

I puréed Boston market spinach and mashed potatoes no problem. But I still cramp when drinking plain water.

@@amylynns Have you tried pinning the tab to the inside of your clothes with a safety pin

I feel like my stomach is writing a bariatric Sonata.

Does anyone else get the rumbly tumblies in their belly after they eat I get a lot of gas movement or something while I am and after I eat.

it help with expelling gas and having bowel movements. Although sometimes a bit explosive.

Awwwww @@amylynns we are on opposite ends of the spectrum. You can drink water and I can drink stuff but not water.

Posted in the wrong forum, sorry: Okay I have an update. I have had a total of eight liters Water. I am had potassium IV drip. They were supposed to be feeding me to make sure I can tolerate liquids but since I never got to a regular room and I spent the whole time in the ER none of that was addressed. I begged the surgical team to let me go home and I promised that I was going to try to drink somethings, anything to make sure I got in 30 to 40 ounces of liquid minimum. You can't sleep in the ER, you can't shower in the ER, you stay in your cubicle in the ER, I felt like a caged animal. I am so glad that I got out I don't even care if I have water weight on me or if I've lost any weight or gained any weight, I don't care, I'm just glad that I am out of there and I never want to go back. The pain in my side and in the middle of my abdomen I'm just going to wrap myself up with an abdominal binder and keep going.

Maybe that's what's going on with me. I drink a sip of water and my stomach cramps.

I'm having buyers remorse I just want to be myself again. I know no one is saying this but I miss sex.

i feel like crap. Have you ever tried to rest in the ER ? They didn't have any rooms open so I've been down here in the ER. NO SHOWER!!! not that much sleep. Irradically medicated. No clear plan of care. I hope I get a room today. I want to go home.

Back in the hospital with dehydration

yes that coughing is nothing to be Scoffed at. That is some real pain. It's best to use a pillow held firmly against your abdomen.
