My weight is falling like a rock... while I would be happy most of the time to lose 19 pounds in 4 days I know this is too fast for my body to keep up with I think. Im still having sweats and am generally very weak. Last night I passed out in the shower. I had the kids call my mother and by the time she got here I was rinsed off and in the bed and feeling somewhat better. Im getting in all the protein they said I would need and then some. 60 grams yesterday. Waterwise, I am drinking at every waking moment. I should end up with 75 to 80 ounces by the end of the day today. Im going to have my PCP pump me full of liquids tommorrow. Other than that I dont know what to do. I have no temperature. Any advice would be well appreciated.

Call your surgeon. He/She will be able to tell you what is "normal" and what is not. This soon after surgery, you should be able to get a call back fairly quickly. Take care RM. Keep us posted. ~Ellen
