Hot Flashes And Night Sweats?!

[dstollery 290]

Ok here's the scoop, I am still on clear liquid I can start some norm puréed tomarrow but every night I wake up soaked, I'm not talking a little sweaty I mean bed is visibly wet and I have to dry myself off with a Towel. If u have seen a pt who is having the big one MI and its dripping off his face that's me every night. 2 or 3 times a night I am awakened to this. During the day, it's just hot flashes where I start dripping.

So anyone else had this?

Don't want to call and bug surgeon if it's nothing lol.

Could you possibly have a fever? Call your doctor, that is what your are paying him for. My doctors office has a nurse practitioner who answers lots of questions which is a big help. Don't suffer another night there could be something wrong... call your doctor.

No fever but nurse is asking PA. My guess was because I was metsbolising fat and muscle for use as glucose that I was having some sort of hypoglycemia she agrees and is thinking maybe I can start my purée and full liquid a day early!! 2 to 3 lbs a day is what I am dropping ATM lol.

Woo hoo! As long as you're feeling good and are healthy that's all that matters.
