not feeling so well

6 weeks out and the weight is coming off. The problem is I feel bad alot of the time now. I was feeling great but now I am having a hard time getting my water down. I get my protien down but fluids is hard when you feel like this. I have a big feeling i am dehydrated. Urine is getting darker and I have no energy as of yesterday. Any suggestions? I called the Dr. but havent heard back yet, Cindy

Cindy. what your experiencing is pretty common. Keep at it, if it's really getting bad we can check some bloodwork tosee if you are dehydrated. Dr. C The Deaconess Surgical Weight Loss Center Cincinnati, Ohio (513) 559-2545

cindy....um...do the words recouperating from major surgery ring a bell???? listen to dr c... hey- what about sf popsicles -go back to them and jellos --they are fluids.....is it physically painful to drink or do you just not "feel" like drinking? keep your head up, sweetie!!!!! energy will come and you won't want to stop!!!!!!

Hi Cindy, I am still pre-op so I can't give you any help but I just want you to know how great I think you are doing and what an inspiration you have been to me here on OH. I have been reading your posts since before your surgery and all since and you have helped me more than you will know. Anyway, good luck and may you have much more continued success! Janet

Cindy, Sometimes it is really hard to get liquids in. You can add to them by sucking on sf pop sicles. Do you like those? What I do is every where I go I carry a water bottle. Are we going to see you tonight? I sure hope so. Let me know if you need directions. Love, Sandy
