If you're not getting your 64 ounces of fluids in, make sure you call Dr. Houston.

Thanks, Pam....I got my 64oz in my midnight yesterday and am at 50oz today (it's 2:30pm)--so, I'm on track. I was able to do 1/2 scoop of Nectar--my husband blended it with crushed ice and a little Raspberry Ice Crystal Lite & it was tolerable. For some reason, cold works for me right now, but, as I have found, by tomorrow I will be wanting all fluids warm or hot.....crazy!
Today is a good day...feeling better...made it from my bedroom all the way across the house to the media room and up both staircases to the kids rooms....it was a good walk and I then collapsed on the couch! :). M.
Hey Pam---OMGoodness.....I am so sick, and in my fog, I started to wonder if you were thinking that a 9.6 pound weight loss in 4 days is a result of dehydration and not a good, healthy weight loss? I have been in touch with Dr. O twice...(he's wonderful).....at this point, just focusing on TRYING to get 64oz of clear fluid down, but e'thing makes me dry heave/nauseous....tried the phenegren supp, yuk, still nauseous...I feel like I went from the star student 1 day post op to failing this class! I am a little worried....is this normal? Going to get better? ug? M.
