Dehydration.

So I'm just a few weeks pass my 2nd surgery anniversary and I ended up in the hospital with dehydration issue. I've always had a hard time getting my fluids in but learned to function on less fluids well apparently my body could only take so such and decided to shut down. I had no kidney function therefore no out put of urine. I also had the rapid heart beat and cold sweats, dizziness and my brain was in a fog, I could even concentrate .
It's amazing how so far out from surgery you can still have complications. So I guess now I have to be more forceful with myself and get my fluid count up, some days I don't even drink a 500ml bottle of water. That had to change cause I don't want to go through this again.
Wish me luck, cause I have a feeling I'm gonna need it.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't. Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened. My Surgery was September 21/2010

Oh my...I hope you feel better soon. Hearing your story is a wake up call for me too because I have never had a good fluid intake. I am also lucky if I get in a 500 ml bottle of liquid a day. I also don't seem to have any negative effects from the less intake, but it doesn't mean I won't in the future. Eek! Take care of yourself...

It is so important to get your fluids in... even having soup helps. I feel for you. I was a huge water drinker and then started having issues with naseau. I ended up having an ulcer and it caused a lot of issues... just the taste of water made me ill. I ended up in the hospital 3 times.. Just one day at a time and drink whatever you can get down.I take sips whenever I can.

How are you doing now Kee? Keeping those fluids up?

I'm not huge on water myself although I'll drink filtered, so I fill in with Syntrax shakes, Hawaiian Punch (can't handle Crystal Light anymore), Mio, coffee and herbal tea.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. It's been a rough 2 weeks since being dehydrated. I ended up with an inner ear infection which I took antibiotics for and then the day after I finished my last pill I ended up with a head cold that has now turned into a sinus infection so once again I'm on another round of antibiotics. It's hard to stay hydrated when you have a fever and I'm so desperately trying. Plain water is hard to get down so I do flavors and sometime I use the 10 calorie cranberry as flavor and the Hawaiian punch.

Broth? Tea? Coffee? More broth?

I hope you're feeling much better soon!

Ugh...I hope you feel better soon. This is a rotten time of year for sickness and being dehydrated doesn't help.
