You need to get yourself some G2 Gatorade and drink it every day for a while until you get better.....Dehydration is a scary thing...I had it happen to me only once....G2 helped...Now I drink some everyday. I mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with Water and I am 10 months out and still feel the need to keep my electrolytes up.

I went through something similar. Did a 4 day hospital stay. Couldn't keep anything down. Had Reflux, nausea and throwing up like crazy. Potassium, magnesium and electrolytes off. But once I got out I am conscious of them and stay on it. Added foods with extra potassium to my diet and pour G2 in my drinks too. I hope you feel better. Blessings!

Thank you girls for the info, my one problem is artificial sweetener makes me sick to my stomach. I am trying to keep stuff down. Not so go. Potassium is 3.4. The doctor want it at 5 before I can go home. Potassium IV is a b***h to take. .

      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.
