Dehydrated & Gout



Recommended Posts

I had gastric sleeve on July 28th. I immediately had problems with Water intake. I needed IV fluids 1 week after surgery. 1 week after that I was hospitalized for dehydration and severe gout in my shoulder, ankle and elbow. I am still struggling to get down the minimum 64oz of Fluid and I feel week and miserable. Any suggestions out there?

You poor thing! I suggest you do whatever your wife tells you to do! Buck up, and drink up! You are definitely having a tougher time than most, and I really do sympathize. Love you, Bat!

I had issues the first day or two out. I had to go into the surgeons office for IV fluids. I was done as a outpatient and went home the same day of surgery. Have you tried you liquids at room temp? I can't do cold liquids right now 11 days out. I drink all my Water at room temp or heated. It is the only way I can get them down.

I was cured of horrible gout pain after 5 months of suffering, and no help from here, or any doctor except life threatening drugs that hospitalized me and nearly killed me. A compound pharmacist saved my life, within 4-5 days. Simple. 2 weeks of fruit and veggies. take six tart cherry capsules, 2 at a time, 3 times a day. Take 3 Celery capsules, at meals, along with three CUramin capsules 3 times a day. Munch on celery sticks. Use Tumeric powder as a condiment, like salt and pepper, the rest of your life, on salads and everything. Too much Protein caused my gout. 2 years gout free and happy. The tears are no more.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
