Anyone have issues with dehydration? How long before you contacted doctor. I have been having terrible headaches(x 6days now)and notice my lips are dry. I've been tired easily but I have been getting fluids but obviously not enough. It's so damn hard getting them in between meals. I am 7 weeks out Gastric Bypass. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

I am sure you already know this but the most important thing is getting all your fluids in.

What worked and still works for me is actually sitting with that Water bottle in my hand and sipping on it until I get the whole thing in. I know I have to drink 3 of them to get my 64 oz. in. I do that 3 times per day and then everything else I get is just extra.

If I don't sit with the bottle in hand dipping, I don't get my Water in and even 7 months out I get dehydrated.

After surgery, I found that I no longer enjoyed drinking ice Water. I adapted and started to drink Crystal Light. flavored water tasted better and was easier to get down. Later I began drinking fine teas.

Call them now. I had diarrhea for two days and called and their suggestions cleared it right up. Don't wait, they are experts. In the hospital I was dehydrated and told them and they pumped me with fluids right away. Don't prolong your agony Lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
