MollyF22 62 Posted February 21, 2016 So I was wondering what symptoms anyone had for a leak? I took some milk of magnesia last night. I've had watery stool since 11pm. I woke up at 8am feeling nauseous, stomach pains and really thirsty. I'm thinking I might be dehydrated. Just wanted some input. I'm definitely going to the hospital to be checked out.

MollyF22 62 Posted February 22, 2016 I did go. I was just dehydrated and got some fluids in. My labs came back great and I would of been alot more sick if I had a leak. Thank goodness it wasnt. I'm feeling fine today. Thanks for asking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted February 22, 2016 Glad you are feeling better. Hang in there! I found it a lot easier to get my sips in if I marched in place. Might want to give that a try. Another think to try is different temperatures of Water. I did better with hot beverages like tea or super ice cold water. Luke-warm water was more of a challenge.

MollyF22 62 Posted February 23, 2016 Thank you. I really appreciate that. At first I couldn't drink cold Water. It hurt going down. I've actually been fine with it now and eating my Jello n popsicles too. Definitely can't wait for the day that I can have my normal foods lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted February 23, 2016 I know in these early days post-op it's hard to imagine, but you really will feel "normal" again eventually. Just take it one day at a time. Stay focused on your Water and Protein and stepping. Work your way up to a reasonable amount of calories as you progress through the food stages. And you will eventually get back to normal.
