Yes. A coworker did. Her urine color was practically brown it was so dark. Extreme fatigue. But the main symptom she had was pinching the skin on her wrist and it didn't snap back in to place... Her skin stayed pinched. She got 2 bags of IV fluids and felt normal again. Hoping you're okay! ;)

Take one of those medicine cups you get with liquid meds. Fill it up with water every 30 minutes. Sip it. At the end of 30 minutes repeat. If you do this all day long you will get enough fluids in to keep from being dehydrated. It sucks, and it is time consuming.....but it works! I am more then two years post op and now I have no problems with getting all of my fluids in. When you are in the moment it seems like forever, but this to shall pass. For those gulpers out there....yes, you will be able to gulp away again. This surgery has been my life saver. And while I will admit that at times (in the very beginning) it has sucked....I would do this surgery a thousand times over! The sleeve was my miracle! Good luck to you! :) :) :)

A nurse at my bariatric office told me to take a nice tall glass of ice water and a spoon and take a spoonful every five minutes. That was my job for the day and it worked!

Get some G2 Gatorade and mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with water and drink that...It will hydrate you very quickly...almost 1 year out I still drink some every day....I get in a lot of fluids too but I know I still need it.....
