skylarkx 69 Posted August 20, 2014 I was sleeved August 1, and I am completley miserable today. I have no appetite, I haven't slept in 3 nights, no naps at all, my restless legs are back with a vengeance and most of all I have 0 energy. My fluids have averaged 35-50 oz per day and Protein 50-60 g per day. Could this be dehydration? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mentalistfan 189 Posted August 20, 2014 Are you only getting in 30 some oz. of liquid including your Protein? You really should be getting 64 oz. of Water plus other things. I would say you are dehydrated but I don't know if it's causing you the other problems, God Bless!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comeflywithme 402 Posted August 20, 2014 sugar free pops help with the fluids intake -- but sip on Water constantly. Once you're hydrated you'll feel great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) miserable - no appetite, haven't slept - 35-50 oz per day and Protein 50-60 g per day. @@skylarkx hi there sorry you've been experiencing some problems it takes everyone different time periods to recuperate so at 3 weeks PO - there are people who are your in your boat, not that that helps you any you should be counting your Protein shakes with your other liquids like Water at only 3 weeks - Water is essential (but you know that) always make sure to get your water in at this early point - Protein next later, water will continue to be essential (so you don't get dehydrated) as far as your "lack of energy" that can also be par for the course very important for all newbies and others....... you should always listen to your dr/NUTS advice first!! they are the professionals who you entrusted with your life the board members are here to give support, some of their own experiences, give suggestions - we are very smart but they are not your dr (i do know there are many smart nurses here - but listen to your doc first) thats what they would probably say too in other words to FINALLY answer your question "are" you dehydrated"? I'm not sure try to drink more, call you doc and see what he says i hope you can get some well needed rest sweet dreams feel better Good luck Kathy Edited August 20, 2014 by proudgrammy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skylarkx 69 Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks proudgrammy! I did put a call into my doctor before I posted this morning! He said to alternate G2 with my Water and I see him Friday and we will work on the sleep thing! He's thinking the loss of sleep is causing most of my problem in feeling so bad. Made me feel a lot better after talking to him! Thanks again!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VSGAnn2014 12,992 Posted August 20, 2014 Kudos to you, skylarkx, for calling the doc. No reason any of us should ever remain uncomfortable or confused. That's what the doctors are paid for and what they signed up for when they became doctors -- to help us, their patients. http://www.acaai.org/about/pages/code-of-ethics.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skylarkx 69 Posted August 20, 2014 He was so nice about it! I said I was sorry for being a worry wart and he said when something feels off in our bodies we should call our doctors, that's what we are here for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
