I'm over 4 months post op and yesterday I went to the great State Fair of Texas. First, I am so happy to say I rode rides with no problems and walked all over the place without getting worn out I think the excitement of such a wonderful day got the best of me. I didn't drink much water or liquids at all. I had maybe half a bottled water and half a powerade. I woke up at 3am with a horrible pounding headache. I have been fighting that headache all day. I think I must have dehydrated myself. Who knew it was so easy

I was able to rehydrate but I am 4 months out. I would not have been able to get enough fluids in at 8 days out. I could barely get in 40 oz of water by two weeks. At eight days out I would say go to the ER and get fluids. Especially if your feeling the effects of it. You can start drinking some G2 to help but I'm afraid it won't be enough. If you can drink 64 oz in a day, I think you could rehydrate yourself. What are you getting in? I hope you do get hydrated and feel better!!!

Oooooooo!!!

I would do it over and over and over lol Yes definitely

I have no clue what it means lol

Okay I'm going to ask, lol PIMA?

I asked Sonic if they had any sugar free slushies and they told me no

Oops.. posted twice

I was self pay and my surgery was at forest park Dallas ... It costs me 7000.00 for the hospital 4000.00 for surgeon

I still can only eat about half so I have lunch and then dinner later lol

I eat the grilled chicken wrap from chik fil a (minus the tortilla) I don't see why not

Just an FYI- sugar intake makes me feel horrible, I start to sweat like I'm in the desert and then my stomache cramps really tight like intestinal spasms. I've read other sleevers who have this reaction now to sugar so just wanted to give a heads up. Also when I say sugar I don't mean a small amount, I mean like when I tried a SIP of milk shake or Apple juice etc. I can do small amounts that are in say G2 gatorade or Greek yogurt etc. So if that happens just know its the sugar.

I had severe dry heaves and naseau through out the day in the beginning and mine was not enough water. I switched to decaffienated tea and was able to get that down better than water through out the day. Also I kept water by my bed and woke up and drank some through out the night. I didn't think this would work, it seemed so weird but it did and I was so relieved. It is hard but it is the healing period. You are right to comfort her and remind her that the difficult part is temporary. She will need to really take care of herself and let her body heal. She is in my thoughts. I hope she gets some relief.
