You need to get yourself some G2 Gatorade and drink it every day for a while until you get better.....Dehydration is a scary thing...I had it happen to me only once....G2 helped...Now I drink some everyday. I mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with Water and I am 10 months out and still feel the need to keep my electrolytes up.

I went through something similar. Did a 4 day hospital stay. Couldn't keep anything down. Had Reflux, nausea and throwing up like crazy. Potassium, magnesium and electrolytes off. But once I got out I am conscious of them and stay on it. Added foods with extra potassium to my diet and pour G2 in my drinks too. I hope you feel better. Blessings!

Thank you girls for the info, my one problem is artificial sweetener makes me sick to my stomach. I am trying to keep stuff down. Not so go. Potassium is 3.4. The doctor want it at 5 before I can go home. Potassium IV is a b***h to take. .

Trust me Potassium is worst to drink. It was salty orange goop. And the cup was Huge. So hang in there.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
