You do sound dehydrated. If your feeling that bad you should go to the ER They can Iv you up.

Omgosh... It's sooo hard to stay hydrated the first month, or at least it was for me I was severely dehydrated at about 2 maybe 3 weeks. I peed once a day and it was very dark. I was dizzy. Had a bad headache. And had dry mouth. Hope you went to er- after 3iv bags I felt better than what was normal at the time.

The blood work should tell the story. In the mean time, your symptoms definitely fit dehydration so you may want to give some serious attention to getting 64oz of Water (or at least fluids) in a day. Not easy or fun but easier and more fun than landing back in the hospital and dehydration can do that in a heartbeat. Like bbdoodle said, sip, sip, sip, sip, sip...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
