So, how do I know for sure I'm dehydrated? When do I call the MD? I have a nasty cold, pee is getting darker every day and headache is splitting! Just don't know if I call it would help to get some fluids. Sigh. I just want to sleep. Any advice?

If you pull the skin on your arm and it pinches and stays that way you are becoming dehydrated...This happened to me only once and my hubby ran out and got me G2 Gatorade and made me drink a bottle...In about an hour I felt much better.....Get the water into you...no excuses and make it a habit to drink G2 at least once a day...I mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with water...10 months out and I still drink it every day for this reason.....K

I know when my kids were sick I bought http://pedialyte.com/ to keep them well hydrated, they also make popsicles and they were good. Of course check with your nut first but maybe they will help you. Best of luck!

Check your pulse, if it's in the 100's along with the dark urine you are probably dehydrated....do you feel weak and dizzy? Those are other symptoms.....probably best to call the doc

Dehydration is the thing I think is foremost on my mind. Im used to eating the protein, having small portions, etc but its the drinking that I have to constantly be aware of. I am more aware than non-sleeved people how much fluid I am expelling when I go to the bathroom and I always check the color. Dehydration causes bad constipation issues for me and I landed in the emergency room once because of it. Not cool, not cool at all. So drink drink drink and then have another drink!
