Having trouble tolerating any liquids

Hi all..have not posted in awhile. Well I am a little over 2 weeks out and I am down 32 lbs. I am pleased, no estatic with those results and all was going well then I suddenly could not tolerate water, tea, crystal light, heck anything liquidy. Making matters worse I take Loratab for pain and it works for me but I get this burst of adrenalin and I walk and walk and walk. Last night I walked and when I returned I was perspiring badly. I was light headed and everything was spinning.. I ended up laying down on the floor...everything calmed down then woth a cold cloth on my face/forehead. When I got up it was a task getting up the stairs to my bed. My daughter fixed some chicken broth which I tolerated and that really surprised me. I doubt in the past few days I have gotten down 25 oz..I know I have to drink fluids but I toss it up when I do...any suggestions out there since apparently I am dehydrated? I am drinking a protein shake now and it is going down well it just takes forever to get it down since I have to wait for some to go down before completing it. Terry Post-op 9/23/03 -32 lbs
