Well I have been not doing so well since yesterday. I woke up uncontrollable bowels and spent most of my time in the bathroom. Anything that I eat or drink goes right thru me and at times have no warning. Just comes out of nowhwere. I woke up at 1230 with barely any warning and ended in the bathroom 3 more times so I finally I had enough and took some immodian a-d I was finally able to go back to sleep until 6 and had to run to the bathroom again. So took another one and ran out of it so hubby had his nephew take him to the store to get more immodian a-d, sf jello, bannanas, sf popsicles. I had 2 episodes of dizineess I thought I was going to collaspe on the kitchen floor. Hubby made me sit down on a kitchen chair. I end up going to the bathroom again and took another immodian a-d ate a bananna and went back to sleep for awhile. I weigh myself this morning I am down to 174.2 lbs after I got home I was 194 from the water weight. This weigh loss is to rapid. It went from feb 18 from 192, feb 19 189.6, feb 20 185.2, feb 21 181.2 and today 174.2. I was 184 lbs before my surgery. So this is quite a jump in the last few days. well I just finish a sf jello and earlier a sf popsicle. Hoping this help rehydrate me again. And hope no more trips to the bathroom especially the uncontrollable ones. That is so embarrasing I just want to cry. I am waiting for the dr office to call back. To see what I should do until I see him on Thursday. Well hubby just came in my room and yell at me told me lay down in bed. He is upset that I am sitting up on my bed. Wants me laying down I can be on my laptop but need to be laying down. Always worrying about me. He  been getting up with the kids and getting them ready for school and making there school lunches.

I got I dont know what, a virus or bug.  It cooked for a couple of days and wham, hit me at work.  I had the same dizziness, going and it was really bad, went in the mens room once. Yeah, when you gota go, bashfulness goes out the window! Just get outa the way.
The thing is keep pushing the liquids and protien drinks! 
My blood pressure dropped to 83/44, it was dehydration.  It can happen fast. I wound up in the ER and had to have IV fluids.  I am still weak from it.  Take it easy and push the protien drinks even if you cant stand them.  You have got to really fight the dehydration. 
Hope you feel better soon.
