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...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
