It's a catch 22. I remember feeling so weak, dehydrated and terrible. I had no appetite so I wasn't taking in enough calories and also felt nauseous. I remember contacting my coordinator and she told me I needed the fluids n calories. I sipped the Protein chicken broth and Protein Shakes and felt better within days. I'm a year out now and never regret it. I remember the first two months though were a little difficult.

My doctor travels everywhere so he's not at the same place anymore.

And I didn't regret the sleeve my first week but now I am. I'm starting to wish I never done it

You sound dehydrated! You need a anti-nausea med to help with the throwing up. At the every least sip some Gatorade G2 to help your electrolytes. You sound like you need to go back to the hospital for dehydration. That is a somewhat common occurrence after surgery in the first few weeks. Please be careful!!

I think skrubabilen is right on. It sounds like a trip to the ER would be a good idea. Once you get dehydrated its really hard to keep anything down. I don't think your going to die, but it sounds like some medical intervention may be necessary. Good luck.

Sherri is so right. Once you get dehydrated you asrebehind the 8 ball because you get sicker, don't feel hungry or thirsty. You should go to n ER wheretbry can give you IV fluids. Yu will be amazed at how much better you will feel

It's hard to say how long it will take. You are taking some chances. If anything, just keep sipping Gatorade. And head to the hospital as soon as you land. But I wouldn't even risk that. Dehydration is serious biz, especially after this surgery because it is such a challenge to get adequate Fluid when you are already hydrated let alone when you are so dehydrated that you are this sick. They would need to check your levels and put in an IV and push fluids into you. Are you going to the bathroom at all?

You need to go to the ER immediately, forget about the flight. If you're nauseous now, just imagine how you'd feel on a plane! Plus if you're dehydrated now...this weekend Dallas will be in the triple digit temperature (106 degrees). Sounds dangerous.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
