Question:
It seems like I get dehydrated so easily since rny.

If I don't drink like I know I should, I feel leg cramps and other symptoms of dehydration within a day or two. Is the reason because the pouch won't hold much water/fluid? I have a hard time drinking over 3 or 4 oz at a time and getting in 64 oz is impossible at this point (4 mos postop). I am doing good if I get in 32 oz a day.    — [Anonymous] (posted on February 26, 2002)

I drink about the same as you. Some days more, alot more. Never had leg cramps though. I heard if you get low in potassium you will get cramps. Orange juice is high in potassium. I drink it deluded with water. V8 juice has potassium in too.Orange juice in the morning and v8 juice in the evening.
