Water, Water, Water

Ok so I am 8 days post op and all I feel I am doing is drinking water. I know we have to drink 64oz a day and I probably could do that but get too darn full so fast....I can only get one full water bottle in a day as of right now. And don't feel like eating because I'm full of water. Anybody going through the same thing?

I felt very lethargic and dizzy. Went to my surgeon and they sent me to ER to get fluids.

That is what I did today...No Bueno (Dislike) Trip to the Er and Iv was put in. I really hope I can get more fluids in me now! Staying Hydrated is important!

Aww no bueno! Hope you guys are feeling better. I slacked a little today with the fluids but ate an little more. It was bad, I blended 2 spoonfuls of my spouse's beef burrito. I couldn't take it anymore, needed something other than soup. Ugh, will probably pay for it later.

Home now and feeling so much better....and you blended it! How did that taste? I got to eat egg drop soup from a chinese restaurant and it went down fine. Thank goodness!

It wasn't bad, it was better than cream Soup. LOL! I have been really creative trying to get Protein into the cream Soups because I want to make sure that I am hitting my quota and I am sick of Protein shakes.

Happily, the burrito (filling only that I blended) was fine, did not have any reaction to it at all. AWESOME! I feel so much better today than I have been, I finally feel like I am healing.

I literally am going through the same thing. All I've been drinking is Water and probably only a bottle a day. I just know my stomach can't tolerate anything other than that. My doc said that was common so soon after surgery since your stomach is still pretty swollen

During an Oz Every 10 min when you are up else you will end up in er with dehydration in about 4 days. Really hard to deal with after surgery.

OH NO!!!! I am so glad you got to the hospital and got the IV though!!

How are you feeling today?

I am 1wk post op and have been doing amazing until last night - just was really nauseous and did everything to avoid throwing up - eventually landed in a cool shower at 2am. I dont know why that happened out of nowhere.

Otherwise, I am getting 64oz in me no problem. Can't wait to be able to eat some new things next week.

Glad your doing good

I know dehydration is not fun. I am glad you got the IV and I know I felt much better after having a bag of fluid. I try so hard but can't get in more than 50 oz. That is including my protein shake for breakfast. Frustrating but I will continue pushing on and I know it will get better and time is my friend It is so nice to be able to talk to others that are going through what you are going through.
