oh Lisa good healing vibes for a speedy recovery, what has helped me is hot lemon Water, and various hot teas sipping them throughout the day, they are never the same and I do not do sugar or anything just plain tea to help with Water intake. hopefully you find something that won't make you naseoues.

Oh, I forgot to mention - I use a really simple app on my phone to help me track how much liquid I'm drinking. It's called "Waterlogged." Might help anyone that's looking to add some more ounces to their day!

You're so sweet :). I'm in bed with my foot propped up dozing away the day. My husband has to take over dinners. Poor guy lol. Luckily I stocked up on easy things. I foresee lots of scrambled eggs and tuna fish.

Oh Sweetie feel better soon. and thanks for telling us. Very good warning. I am pretty good about getting fluids in. Not always food, but Protein and fluids and Vitamins I try very hard to get in. I have had a bad cold this week, and it has seemed harder to get the fluids in, and i want to kick myself in the butt and tell myself you need the fluids now more than ever, what is wrong with you slacking on it, so today i am trying extra hard. This is a full time job some days. Hope Hubby takes good care of you.

I went to doctor today as my UTI is back but doctor said that I am dehydrated too. So I'm drinking like a crazy woman. Feel better! :)

Don't do this. It freaking hurts!

Ouch! Heal quick! I'm working extra hard to get the liquids in. So are you dealing with hypoglycemic episodes? We're you diabetic prior to surgery? Is this why your blood pressure is dropping causing you to pass out, or just dehydration?

How far post op are you? I don't drink enough at all! It is hard to focus on anything but work throughout the day! Any signs besides dark urine you noticed before getting to the pass out point?! Scary and I wish you a speedy recovery!

I'll be three months post op tomorrow. I have never been diabetic but I've always had hypoglycemic episodes. I get lightheaded when I stand up a lot, but it passes quickly. This happened as I was walking and it just came up out if nowhere and swallowed me. I think I'm chronically dehydrated. I had three full bags of Fluid in the hospital and I peed once. I'm going to have to see my doctor to talk about how to manage this. I can't be passing out like that again.

Wow thanks for sharing! This rings as a big warning for me because I have been feeling dizzy and tired more than usual lately and I am not even drinking half of what I should be! Time to redirect focus! Good luck with recovery!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
