Omg I'm 3 weeks post op & didn't drink any water today. I'm starting to have a headache. Could I be dehydrated? I've been really good otherwise drinking between 30-60oz daily

yes, you could. you should sip water as often as possible...

Yes it's a good possibility you are dehydrated.

When I got dehydrated, my doc suggested Powerade Zero first, then Propel Zero or Vitamin Water Zero.

Make sure you always have a water bottle with you in the future - your fluids are so important!

Drink the powerade zero as suggested above then start getting your water in asp!

It's not really worth a trip to the ER for something you can avoid.

Thank you kindly. It just takes a drop of distraction to fall off track. I see that I must b diligent.

You can download a free app to your phone that will remind you to drink. It will chime when it's time to sip. Ahh technology!

My doc office suggests none of those drinks due to high sugar content-- I'm sooooo weak 17 days out and it hurts to sip due to sliding hernia repair pain .. At a loss

Both of those drinks are sugar free. That is why they have Zero in the names.

I found keeping a cup of crushed ice nearby helped me to get my Water in...it also helps in the healing process as well. I would buy a bag of crushed ice from my local Sonic Drive-in....since the size of their crushed ice was perfect for my needs. You might try this method of getting your water in.

Zelmo, I'm ADDICTED to sonic ice! I'm soooo looking forward to my surgery so that I HAVE to have ice all day

Having ice helps me get my water in easier. My husband got me a counter top ice maker for Xmas. Love it... Not as good as sonic ice but is nice to have an easy supply

You've had lots of great advice for you to follow. But until I was sleeved, I didn't appreciate the basic fact behind the need to drink at the levels we do is that a lack of water - even before you become dehydrated - slows down your metabolism and leads to your body trying to conserve energy. That means trying to hang on to fat stores. Well hydrated and your body works to its maximum on fat burning...

So drink up, water = weight loss!!!!

I told her they said sf and she says no they won't give energy and too much artificial sweetener I suppose

Have your tried warm liquids? My sleeve has always tolerated warm liquids better than cold ones. May be worth a try?
