5 Weeks Post Op And Feeling Bad. Am I Dehydrated?



Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I ate a coffee popsicle from Whole Foods. It was wonderful! But all night long I had to urinate.

Then this morning, I drank 1/2 a Protein Shake made from Click (coffee Protein powder).

Today I feel bad. A little dizzy, my stomach hurts, and my eyes were unevenly dilated. I'm super tired.

I've drank about 52 ounces today; 20 in the past hour. I've been averaging 40-50 ounces a day since surgery.

Could I be dehydrated? Really, from a popsicle further complicated by a Click Protein shake? Do I need to go in, or can I just keep drinking?

Was the popsicle sugar free? What was in it? In my experience if it is something you ate the sick feeling is more immediate. I dont think you are dehydrated if you have been getting in that much fluid...I would think maybe you are just coming down with something. Take it easy and if you arent feeling better or symptoms are the same with no others (leading more like a cold or flu) than give the DR a call. Make sure to keep us post.

Probably need to give up the caffiene products. It could also contribute to dehydration. ;)

Please call your Doctor and make him aware of the uneven eye dialiation . Just to be on the safe side!!

Thanks everyone, I think there may have been caffeine in the yummy popsicle.

Tonight I had a decent dinner and have drunk (drank?) 65 ounces, and I am starting to feel better. I hate that I cannot have even a little caffeine.

I guess I'll skip the Click for now...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
