Back In Hospital

I had surgery last friday. And as of two days ago im back in the hospital do to dehydration. I was trying to keep up with fluids and had a huge bottle of water next to me sipping as often as I could but it just wasnt enough. But they also are observing how.much im eating. Im not sure if it was normal but due to severe paon when eating r drinking protien shakes I focused more on liqueds so they are also keeping me until I.can get more food down. Has anyone had pain when swallowing, where when the food hit your stomach it felt like you were punched and you could hardly breath,? it last's maybe a few seconds but it is enough to scare me from eating. Is this normal or maybe my sleeve is to tight? Advice plz! I wanna go home!

    I had good luck with sipping hot tea with splenda & sugarfree popcicles to stay hydrated. Good luck & I hope you recover quickly.

    You need to get checked out - fever and pain is not good. My Doctor required that I call him right away if I was having any fever with pain.

Yes I was on soft foods, such as eggs and cheese. My doc put me on them bf I even left the hospital. But onviously I couldnt down them very well. When dehydrated I had a dry mouth/lips, dark urine, disoriented, no energy, dizzy, lightheaded, faint, headaches. Im sure there was more I just cant think right now. They are also going to keep me tonight. Yay :( not! I just feel so sick and tired. I havent ate in 4days. They did give me a bag of a multi vitamen iv.... But is that good enough. And I do want to eat but im scared to, because of the pain.

I really wish the best for you!! Please go in Monday. Not trying to scare you but those were the symptoms I was told to watch for in case of a leak.

I understand your not wanting to go to the hospital but you NEED to go asap. You're having the same symptoms I had with a leak. Please keep us posted, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Pevette, I contacted my Dr office on Friday I am in a lot of pain on my left side. I had surgery June 19th and have not felt pain like this even after surgery. I feel as though my stomach is on fire on the inside. When I move, cough, laugh, or even some of the slightest moves make me want to cry. I have not run fever, had a leak, or even had any smell come from any of my wounds. However, one of my incisions is red around it then the other. My stomach is also warmer there than anywhere else. My Dr asked me for a picture and said that it is an infection, he called me in an antibotic and I have to take it every 4 hours until my pills are gone. Don't hesitate to call the dr go to the er or clinic. An infection is not something to play around with for any of us. I have been on the antibotics since Friday afternoon and I'm still in a tremendous amount of pain.
