Lisa Collom 184 Posted February 21, 2013 I learned first hand today that even slight dehydration can be dangerous, especially if you already have low blood pressure. I passed out twice this morning resulting in tissue damage to my knee and back, along with a very painful broken foot. I also have to stay overnight in the hospital for monitoring. So sip sip sip!

theby_88 72 Posted February 21, 2013 I am always scared that something is going to happen to me because I don't drink enough. It is just so hard to do it but I am going to try harder. I probably only get like 1 to 2 16 oz bottle waters in a day. thats not good. I hope you feel better. That is so scary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theby_88 72 Posted February 21, 2013 We can do it if we pay more attention and seriously sip allllll day. It's just annoying and you have to dedicate yourself. That's hard to do but I guess we better do it before something really bad happens. We didn't have this surgery to get sick from it right. We want to get better from it. Let's do it! 1 agirlofaith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure you've tried different types of liquid- but just wanted to check... Sometimes for (seemingly) no reason Water makes me nauseous feeling, so I have to change it up with tea or something.
