Pls go to the ER, your potassium levels are likely extremely low and that can interfere with the heart.

Just go....at the very least they will get you some IV fluids fast

@@pdallariva,

I’m sorry it’s been so hard for you!

Definitely talk to your medical team. You don’t want to risk any serious problems.

Everyone reacts to surgery differently. Your body’s response to the physical trauma from surgery and the emotional stress from the whole situation might be to get tired. You may simply need to rest more and wait it out.

I also wonder if you’re taking your Water consumption seriously enough. You’re clearly prone to dehydration if you’ve been hospitalized four times for it! Are you getting in the amounts they recommend – and beyond, since it’s summer and you need extra fluids? Are you using electrolyte drinks to help with your electrolyte balance?

It really sounds like you’re not getting adequate fluids and nutrition if you’re dehydrated and you’re being told you’re losing too fast. Are you following your recommended meal plan? Be honest with yourself!

Good luck – I hope you feel better soon.

@@Alex Brecher yes I do rest a lot. I do not work so I am able to rest when needed. I have tried all kinds of drinks and Water is really the only thing I can sometimes keep down. I know for sure I'm not getting required amount and no Vitamins or Protein at all. I am following everything they say to do. I am basically in contact with them everyday m-f. My next test scheduled is yet another swallow test except this time with barium. I don't know what they think is going to change. I bet I'm going to end up on IV foods. Find out more tomorrow.

Getting my lab work done this week to show Vitamin levels. Also scheduled to see the doctor on the 24th. Hope all of the lab work will be back in time for my visit. In the meantime if I get sicker I am instructed just to go back to the ER.

I was at the er today. I went on my morning walk as usual and came home and felt sicker than ever. I tried zofran but it didn't help. So at ER they have me zofran, reglan and Benadryl along with two bags of fluids. I felt better but still not 100%. ER dr said labs were all good. I don't understand how labs can be all good but I am still sick. My dr called me and still wants me to do another swallow test. I am refusing bc I am so sick of all the radiation I have had in my life. My apt is Wednesday. I will keep you updated. Fingers crossed we find out why I can't hold anything down.

I read through this searching for answers. I've posted about being sick a lot, I'm 8 days post op and thinking of going in for fluids. I get in 1 Protein shake, a bit of Water, and maybe 16oz Powerade zero. My consumption hasn't gone up, it's actually getting worse. Was the ER able to help you?

No the ER only ever gave me fluids and sent me home. My doctor was the one who would always admit me. It's very weird bc I was doing well for a week or so and all of a sudden today I feel as if my structure is back. I threw up all day.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
