So I’m two weeks out yesterday. And I ended up going into the er because I kept throwing up and couldn’t keep any fluids down. I ended up having severe dehydration and the start of a kidney infection. And yes I have been drinking my water. Did this happen to any of you post op?

If you're vomiting and having trouble keeping fluids down I wouldn't really call that failing

Sucks sure, but it's not like you were doing tbe wrong things. Your body just wouldn't cooperate

Yes! I had exactly the same thing happen and felt EXACTLY the same way!
I felt embarrassed to be having trouble because everyone told me I'd be the easy patient. I'm young with no prior health issues. But there was nothing I could do to get water or food down. It just hurt! Don't feel like a failure! After my dr put a scope down to give me some more room where stomach and esophagus connected I stopped throwing up.

It will get better. I know exactly how you're feeling and dehydration impacts your emotions too. You're doing nothing wrong, your body just went through hell. Hindsight is 20/20, so borrow some of mine and know that you are OK!!

Yes! 4 days post op I was readmitted with severe dehydration and stayed in for 5 days.. You’re not a failure!!
