Dehydrated!

I'm back to Foundation in the morning.  I think I am dehydrated.  I can get my 64 in but I think bowel issues are dehydrating me.  I talked to Dr. Walton and he wants me to come in to do some blood and get some IV fluid.  It also doesn't help that the nausea is awful and nothing tastes good.

Thanks go to Ruth for her post.  I might have missed it otherwise.

winnie if you look at your finger tips..and they are wrinkled like if you had been in water to long then you are dehydrated....its a trick a doctor showed me years ago...if your bowels are causing you this problem see if you dont have an bowel infection....
I did and after 1200.00 in antibitoics it went away

Dark urine, nausea, and the finger wrinkles are what tipped me to the fact I was dehydrated.  I'm sure it's my bowels as well.  I get my 64 every day but something else is working against me.

Dr. Walton will fix me.  I have faith in him.

Chamomille tea is nice, or even better, Ginger tea.  Settles the tummy without caffeine.  You can make it in a man mug if you'll feel better about it.

 Hang in there Winne! I am thinking about you! Good thing you got over to WW! Smart Choice..

I will say an extra prayer for you tonight. Best of Luck!

I had lots of diarrhea and ended up dehydrated about 6 weeks after surgery.  I had a loss of appetite, didn't want to drink and just wanted to curl up and sleep.  I felt a lot better after the IV.

Let us know how you're doing.

Sorry to hear your not feeling well.. Dehydration is not fun! I hope ur Doc gets you fixed up an back home,,

HOPE YOU GET TO FEELING BETTER AND THE DOCS CAN FIX YOU UP!!

Am I going to have to come over there and beat you up?   NO MORE PROBLEMS -- Ya HEAR?   

Winne,

Hang in there bud!  I have had a few bouts with diarrhea.  Before you know it your body will work things out and it will be smoothe sailing.  You know how to get me if you need anything buddy.
