I am 7 weeks out and am still do dry/dehydrated. What can I do to help this. I am drinking my Water I had to get iv fluids at 4 weeks for dehydration and it got better for a couple days but now I'm right back there. Yesterday I didn't pee for 15 hours and when I did it was so dark. Thinking I may have to go get more fluids.

Are you getting in some sodium? It is hard to hold any fluids when you are dehydrated unless you also have some electrolytes. Water and Protein Drinks will not give you sufficient sodium.

I have not been counting how many ounces I get in nut I would estimate 40-60 guess I just need to up It. I was thinking of going to the ed to get some iv fluids cause I'm just feeling so dry. I wouldn't be able to go for another day though.

I would definitely do what it takes to get re-hydrated, so if you need the IV by all means. SMO has a point, can you get down some Powerade or something that can get your electrolytes up and some sodium (it will help you withold some fluids)? Hang in there.

To get your fluids in, try using a special cup or bottle. For instance I have a Teva cup that holds 24 oz. I drink 3 - 4 of these a day. The first 2 fills are Crystal Light then the last 2 are Water.

Hope you'll be able to get your fluids in.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
