Overheating?

[pcos_chick 23]

Hey all... just wanted to get some opinions and see if anyone else had any similar situations...

I'm around 5 months out and doing great. I've lost 100lbs. I feel good, great energy levels, I should be exercising more but I'm very active. I just moved from the DC area to Dallas about 1.5 months ago. We are seeing record highs here with 30+ days of 105+ temps. Yesterday I was outside for a while and I overheated. It was about 104 ish and I had been drinking Water (but I'm guessing not enough.) I've never experienced this.

I'm sure I'm still getting used to this weather. But I wanted to check and see if folks have noticed any issues post op with dealing with the heat and such. Once the light-headedness hit I sat down and started drinking Water as fast as I could. Post op I'm not able to drink water as fast as I could pre-op and I'm guessing the played into how long it took to recover.

Does anyone have an experience with heat and activity? Any tips? Anyone drinking Gatorade? I think they have a low/no sugar version?

Thanks!

Wow.... Dehydration can cause the symptoms you are describing, smart thinkin to stop and hydrate yourself!

I live in Tucson, and haven't been sleeved yet, but if I work outside past 10am or before 5pm, I go through EXACTLY what you described. You have to be WELL hydrated BEFORE you go outside, and you have to stay hydrated while staying outside. I stop every 5 minutes and drink. I also make sure to stay inside as much as possible from 11-3.
