5 Weeks Post Op And Feeling Bad. Am I Dehydrated?



Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I ate a coffee popsicle from Whole Foods. It was wonderful! But all night long I had to urinate.

Then this morning, I drank 1/2 a Protein Shake made from Click (coffee Protein powder).

Today I feel bad. A little dizzy, my stomach hurts, and my eyes were unevenly dilated. I'm super tired.

I've drank about 52 ounces today; 20 in the past hour. I've been averaging 40-50 ounces a day since surgery.

Could I be dehydrated? Really, from a popsicle further complicated by a Click Protein shake? Do I need to go in, or can I just keep drinking?

Was the popsicle sugar free? What was in it? In my experience if it is something you ate the sick feeling is more immediate. I dont think you are dehydrated if you have been getting in that much fluid...I would think maybe you are just coming down with something. Take it easy and if you arent feeling better or symptoms are the same with no others (leading more like a cold or flu) than give the DR a call. Make sure to keep us post.

Probably need to give up the caffiene products. It could also contribute to dehydration. ;)

Please call your Doctor and make him aware of the uneven eye dialiation . Just to be on the safe side!!

Thanks everyone, I think there may have been caffeine in the yummy popsicle.

Tonight I had a decent dinner and have drunk (drank?) 65 ounces, and I am starting to feel better. I hate that I cannot have even a little caffeine.

I guess I'll skip the Click for now...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
