I was sleeved 11/18/19, 2 weeks after surgery I was totally fine but now I’m nauseas, dizzy, can’t eat for almost 3 weeks. I explained this to my surgeon but he just says to drink Water. I am in bed most of the time I’m awake, I have zero energy, my eyes are constantly dizzy and I’m worried. I went to the ER & they said it was a UTI. I can’t keep anything down and honestly feel like my body is shutting down. Idk who to talk to or what to do :’( I’m starting to think it’s my gallbladder but I am not to sure.
Anybody have advice ?

Seriously dehydration will make you feel all of these things and will make getting Protein in even harder.

You have got to do anything to get the Fluid in. Drink warm bouillon for sodium. Drink G2 gatorade or diluted juice with Water. Do whatever you must do to get the fluids in you.

Sorry you are experiencing this scary time.

All symptoms of dehydration. I second Fluffychix's suggestions and add Jello, popsicles, and Powerade. If you're that sensitive, you may want to try Pedialyte.

Symptoms of gallbladder are severe pains in the right upper quadrant/right flank area and does not include dizziness/weakness/etc.

Make every effort to get some fluids in. It seems weird that dehydration makes it so you either don't want to drink or can't keep it down, but that's the god's honest truth.

I agree - not your gallbladder, it's likely dehydration. Can you go to an IV bar or something similar to jump start your hydration?

It really does sound like dehydration. Keep sipping, sipping, sipping Water all day long.

      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.
