You do sound dehydrated. If your feeling that bad you should go to the ER They can Iv you up.

Omgosh... It's sooo hard to stay hydrated the first month, or at least it was for me I was severely dehydrated at about 2 maybe 3 weeks. I peed once a day and it was very dark. I was dizzy. Had a bad headache. And had dry mouth. Hope you went to er- after 3iv bags I felt better than what was normal at the time.

The blood work should tell the story. In the mean time, your symptoms definitely fit dehydration so you may want to give some serious attention to getting 64oz of Water (or at least fluids) in a day. Not easy or fun but easier and more fun than landing back in the hospital and dehydration can do that in a heartbeat. Like bbdoodle said, sip, sip, sip, sip, sip...

      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.
