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.

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!

You're so sweet :). I'm in bed with my foot propped up dozing away the day. My husband has to take over dinners. Poor guy lol. Luckily I stocked up on easy things. I foresee lots of scrambled eggs and tuna fish.

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.

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! :)

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?

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!

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.

Wow thanks for sharing! 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! Good luck with recovery!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
