My doc says to drink 8oz of Fluid per hour. I don't feel like I can do that. So I don't quite meet the 64oz daily. Now today I'm weak and dizzy. I see my doctor today. What do you guts think?

I think that you are dehydrated and need to work on getting your Fluid intake in as much as possible. Ask your Dr. for an IV to help get you hydrated. This is definitely hard to get in our fluid intake due to the stomach being so swollen....Glad you have an appt today......It will help.... :)

:( you are struggling.......but dehydration is extremely dangerous, it thickens your blood, could cause kidney problems, or a stroke. So I try to be extra careful when it comes to dehydration.... However it is really hard to get in that much of Water in an hour......so get in as much as you can. You can do this.... :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
