    Gatorade is a sports drink with electrolytes..you probably have one over there..it is for dehydration.

    It seems you and I are pretty similar..I lost about the same amount as you..on same day...I had one of those moments..sometimes throughout the day I go through that. Like wow I really did it. And I don't have to be big anymore..what's cool is I wont be anymore..its a good feeling to know it versus just hoping for it..yeeeeaaahh..so happy...can't wait for the first year to pass!

    What If?

    I would listen to these guys..there like sleeve ..Mr miagi's ..and I would definitely go..
  12. I hope this info helps someone. I sent this to someone that was having fears ..I know I had my fears and all these kind of story's helped me mentally prepare..here mine.. I lost 20 when I started my preop diet over the month before surgery and I lost ten since Wednesday when I had it..I'm only 5 days out of surgery..and I feel pretty back to normal..was just thinking about going in to work for couple hours tommorow. When I got to hospital they gave me and I.v and started fluids..they gave me a blood thinner shot and percocet to calm me. I waited in a room until it was my turn..the anesthesiologist came and explained what would happen..freaked my mother out so bad she started crying..and I almost changed my mind..my daughter looked scared ..but then I remembered my faith and just knew I would be o.k. I went in and within a minute I was passed out. Woke up to people calling my name ..and a horrific pain in my chest..it wasn't my stomach that hurt..it was my chest ..it felt like there was a elephant sitting on my chest. It was very painful. I read on here that it is gas from surgery and to walk..so I made them let me walk as soon as I got my room..that helped..I was in tears..but by 2 am that night..it was a lot better..they monitored me and gave me pain meds. My doctor gives his patients a pain ball called a on -Q pump..it is a pump you carry around with you and it has a tiny hose that stays inside you where your stomach is and it releases a numbing medication right where the doctor cut. I think this was soooo helpful because I never felt stomach pain..only gas pains.. after three days you just pull it out..sounds creepy but I couldn't feel it. I stayed one night in hospital..left next evening..feel fine..I'm glad I went through with it..I'm careful about what I eat and how fast I drink..I don't want a leak..that's my only fear..but I gad so many fears before surgery..I'm just glad its done..now the job is staying hydrated and getting protien

    I feel like that sometimes if I'm doing too much..or if I need water..check your self..sit for half hour and make it a job to get that water in and see how you feel..take your pulse too..they told me it shouldn't be over 100 per min...hydration I think is important..to how you feel...
