Sorry to hear that! Hope you are doing better!

I'm just ready to get this show on the road! Only a week and a half!

Have you been to any support groups in the area? I went to the Fair Oaks one once, thinking I may go back. Don't know of any others tho.

No I haven't. I really have been too sick to do anything. But now that I am feeling better I thought I would go to the Fair Oak meeting in May. It's the 3rd Tuesday of the month, right?

Unfortunately I was just there last week for some surgery difficulties. I have had a horrible time keeping fluids in me so became dehydrated and potassium deficient. I hope things go well for you. Keep me posted on your progress and feel free to ask me anything.

I had a horrible three weeks starting right before week 4. (had been great up until that) i also dehydrated myself and didn't eat for a week. ended up in the hospital (sibley) and got potassium as well. (i chose the oral liquid version cause the iv version stings bad!) I'm finally feeling better now. How have you been?

How did you know that you were so dehydrated? I feel dry, but not sure if the other issues I have are from low calories, new diet, or possibly dehydration. :/

I was having problems taking in Fluid and calories. I wound up making myself more sick by not doing that. I went to my surgeons office and could hardly stand up. Couldnt take a shower without wanting a nap afterwards, and feeling dizzy. They took me down to the ER (office is at a hospital) and the first thing they do is take blood and hydrate you. if you're having problems and don't know whats causing them call your dr's office! don't wait like I did, I just made myself worse
