On the verge of dehydration!

[Kayla Monee 7]

Hi everyone,

I just been sleeved on last Thursday, July 6th. Far as pain wise i feel much better .The gas pains were kicking my ass at first . I lost 11 pounds in 6 days, but far as fluids. I feel like i only get 2-3oz of fluids down for the whole day, im starting to feel dehydrated. Any advise? I tried crystal light and juicy juice . I have no probelm getting it down, but it just seem like I get full off half of 1oz in one sitting. I really dont want to go to the hospital if i can find a way to rehydrate myself. What are some good drinks that helped you from being dehydrated?

Start weight: 220

Surgery : 217

Current: 208

Goal:120

Hi Kayla, I totally understand your frustration, I was sleeved 6/26 and I'm just getting better with my liquids. My main issue is the nausea and vomiting all day, I still force myself to sip water.. what works for me and something I hated before the sleeve is ice cold Water (lots of Ice). Try having a nice warm tea in the morning and take water with you everywhere you go or move around the house, it will be a constant reminder to sip... dehydration can be very dangerous for us. Something someone mentioned to me was putting a Sipping timer on my phone to go off every 10-15 minutes. Hope this help, with time it will get better

Also try sugar free popsicles

I haven't gotten my surgery yet but my cousin's wife told me that sucking on ice could help a lot. I hope I was able to help.

I used pedialyte after surgery to help with dehydration.

Sipping timer, yes that's a good idea. I had my kids help me. I have the echo dot. We would set a timer for 5 mins then I drink an ounce then the girls set the timer again.

Suck on ice. Get pedialyte. Get flavors for your water!

Thanks everyone for the advice!. For the people who had the surgery, do you like the baratric advantage Protein Shakes? I tried them , their alright but not the best. I want to try Premier Protein. Have you all tried that? I heard its way better.

Premier is not bad at all. Especially when it's really cold. The chocolate is the only flavor I can stomach

I love Premier Protein. chocolate is also my fave. I add PB2 powder to vanilla for a yummy Peanut Butter shake.< br>I second the ice and ice Water. I find it helps over room temp.
I also drink Vitamin water zero. Lots of flavors to choose from.
Have you tried coconut water?
Good luck!

I drink Protein Water when I take road trips...Premier Protein is the only shake I drink....I am not a fan of the chocolate but I love the Carmel and strawberry

[goldenbarbie 329]

The only premier shake I like is the chocolate one because it doesn't taste grainy or too strong deff try it. They have it in Walmart pack of 4 shakes for $7

Jello also counts a liquid if you can get that down - I agree with the sugar feee popsicles and the timer as well. Good luck. Our stats are very similar. I had surgery 6/22 starting Weight 223, surgery weight 217, current weight 200.6 goal weight 135. 5'2.5" tall

I love the bananas and cream pre-op but after surgery it was way too sweet for me. I used what I had by mixing with frozen strawberries or frozen bananas and PB2. I had one scoop of Jay Robb chocolate powder left and had that it was fine. I'll think I'll try the chocolate for awhile. If you live near a Sam's club they have them there cheapest I've found you get 12 for $14.
