Haha thanks. I felt so tired doing everything not realizing it was due to dehydration. But deff go get some Ivy fluids from the hospital if you want better to be safe than sorry Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everyone is different. Stay positive. Be prepared to crave food the first week or two just because you literally can't have it. Also if you can't tolerate Water or anything from liquid diet due to digestion try baby products. Baby applesauce, baby water. (Gerber Brand) taste amazing and you will get your nutrients and stay hydrated. HYDRATION is the key! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey I am about 9 days post opp. Met with my surgeon today for the follow up appointment and he sent me to ER for dehydration. In my case whenever I would move just to go to the bathroom, move to comb my hair or even put on clothes I would instant have to rush to my bed to lay down and I was out of breath. I thought it was cause I was weak but it was because of dehydration. Mouth constantly dry as well. My surgeon said you are suppose to take in 48-64 oz of fluids a day. 4 oz every hour. Sip every 15 mins. Go to the ER and let them give you 2 or 3 ivy Fluid bags. You will feel better. Also if you can't keep regular bottled Water down or if it's hard to sip try baby water. I now use gerber pure water. You can get it at your local Walmart. It goes down without a problem. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
