I think I'm dehydrated



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to drink more but it's hard. I only drank about 40oz yesterday but I'm up to 50 so far today and my head feels lightheaded. Any thoughts ?

Check with your Dr's office. I needed to get fluids 2x and I was able to do it outpatient.

There Is a test you can do on the back of your hand. If the skin doesn't retract easily when pulling it, you may be dehydrated.

It gets better with time. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

What colour is your urine. If it’s pale straw coloured that’s good, if it’s dark yellow or brown that’s bad.

If you are struggling with Water drink something else e.g tea. It doesn’t have to be water it just needs to be Fluid, low cal fluid.

Earlier today it was dark but now it's a dark straw color. I managed to get in another 25oz of water to bring me to 70 oz.. the most since surgery...it was getting easier to drink this evening . Especially when I was worried about dehydration... hopefully tomorrow will be better

Yes tomorrow is a bright new day, that's one of the few do-overs in your days. Don't give up on your struggles, even 2 oz every 15 minutes will help. My mini- mantra IF YOUR URINE IS LIGHT- YOU'RE DOING JUST RIGHT!

Do it slow, do it steady, and you will finally after a while get in BALANCE, fancy medical way,of stating THAT is homeostasis This leads to me telling a story, many things do, you know!
I accomplied Late Lamented's Mama to her Doctor, wasn't I a sweet D-I-L?
At any rate Doctor comes into the room, asking his usual cheery question, " Well how are WE feeling today?"
Mama-in laws response: "I've got the MISERIES!"
Doctor- "Hmmm I have never treated anyone for MISERIES, what does that entail?"
ME To restate it in Medical terms, "an ill- defined state of non- homeostasis currently."
Doctor:" Ah Ha, now that makes sense to me, perhaps I have advice for THAT! " LOL😝

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
