How do you know if your dehydrated?

I started mushies a little early. As of Tues I was completely cleared on soft foods. My Dr said it's kinda trial and error as to what I'll be able to have. I bought a bag of ice from Sonic cause it's that crunch ice.... So good !! LOL !! And I try to keep water with me all the time and sip all day. I know it's hard sometimes, but remember all your liquids count, doesn't just have to be water. I needed food though. I needed some texture and flavor I was going nuts !!! Good luck Girl !!

 I am still pre op, but on my liquid diet.  I have twins that keep me busy so I have been forgetting to drink enough water.  I don't feel really effected by it other than I get these little headaches.  They are somewhat on the top of my head but I can also feel itin the front too.  They don't hurt too bad, but I think they are dehydration headaches because if I chug some water, it helps it go away.  I know there is no chugging for you, but maybe if you get the headaches, you might be dehydrated?  Also, see if you skin takes a long time to bounce back.  If it does, you are likely dehydrated.  Hope this helps.  Good luck!  You are doing a great job, keep up the great work!  

Might as well try it.I thought it was stupid when I read it but guess what I did it.I would chew then spit in napkin not swallow at day 16 that was me.I loved the taste and it satisfied mev just dont swallow.
