Cyn 21 Posted February 21, 2013 oh Lisa good healing vibes for a speedy recovery, what has helped me is hot lemon Water, and various hot teas sipping them throughout the day, they are never the same and I do not do sugar or anything just plain tea to help with Water intake. hopefully you find something that won't make you naseoues.

abbybeep 53 Posted February 22, 2013 Oh, I forgot to mention - I use a really simple app on my phone to help me track how much liquid I'm drinking. It's called "Waterlogged." Might help anyone that's looking to add some more ounces to their day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicki Loichinger 444 Posted February 22, 2013 Oh Sweetie feel better soon. and thanks for telling us. Very good warning. I am pretty good about getting fluids in. Not always food, but Protein and fluids and Vitamins I try very hard to get in. I have had a bad cold this week, and it has seemed harder to get the fluids in, and i want to kick myself in the butt and tell myself you need the fluids now more than ever, what is wrong with you slacking on it, so today i am trying extra hard. This is a full time job some days. Hope Hubby takes good care of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole K 352 Posted February 23, 2013 I went to doctor today as my UTI is back but doctor said that I am dehydrated too. So I'm drinking like a crazy woman. Feel better! DOS 12/17/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa Collom 184 Posted February 23, 2013 Don't do this. It freaking hurts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicole K 352 Posted February 23, 2013 Don't do this. It freaking hurts! Ouch! Heal quick! I'm working extra hard to get the liquids in. So are you dealing with hypoglycemic episodes? We're you diabetic prior to surgery? Is this why your blood pressure is dropping causing you to pass out, or just dehydration? DOS 12/17/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheddingtummy 14 Posted February 23, 2013 How far post op are you? I don't drink enough at all! It is hard to focus on anything but work throughout the day! Any signs besides dark urine you noticed before getting to the pass out point?! Scary and I wish you a speedy recovery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa Collom 184 Posted February 23, 2013 I'll be three months post op tomorrow. I have never been diabetic but I've always had hypoglycemic episodes. I get lightheaded when I stand up a lot, but it passes quickly. This happened as I was walking and it just came up out if nowhere and swallowed me. I think I'm chronically dehydrated. I had three full bags of Fluid in the hospital and I peed once. I'm going to have to see my doctor to talk about how to manage this. I can't be passing out like that again.

This rings as a big warning for me because I have been feeling dizzy and tired more than usual lately and I am not even drinking half of what I should be! Time to redirect focus!
