PEEPS: Be SURE to drink ALL you water

[Golden 10]

I'm so excited to hear that about EmergenC!!! I had though I couldn't have it because it's considered "effervescent"?? How exciting, has it helped you at all?

Two nights ago I tried getting that 6th feed in by eating at 8:30 p.m. I need to figure out how to get a few more calories. I cannot eat that late at night and again I was up with horrible acid reflux. Aside from eating too late, I never have any reflux issues. Well, it was so bad that I was popping Tums all night long. The first I'd taken Tums since surgery and then I happen to read this today.

Thank you for the head's up. I wonder if it's the same risk if you are staying well hydrated?

Also, since surgery I am drinking about 1/3 of the Water I used to drink. I used to be a very heavy Water drinker. ONLY getting 64 ounces a day took a lot of getting used to for me. Well, almost immediately after surgery my blood pressure dropped like a rock. I had to quit both meds. So I'm wondering if I was creating my high blood pressure by drinking way too much water. I certainly have not lost enough weight to have impacted my blood pressure to that degree. So it just makes me wonder.....

I have seen lots of folks here say their BP went down right after surgery ( me included ), so I think that's just one of those things that happens. I don't think you can drink too much water, (within reason of course! ), certainly not enough to raise your BP.

Ok I can't resist.... I am glad that you don't have a leak and are now comfortable taking a leak...
