Home from Hospital

I spent the last 4 hrs in the ER receiving 2 liters of fluids. My IV wasn't good to begin with or I would have gotten 3 liters. I had a follow up appt. this morning with PCP -- and was severely dehydrated. What a ride this has been. On a good note on my Drs scale I am -18 lbs in 9 days. He isn't my surgeon and was bit concerned that this is to fast. Specially since I am done nearly 10 lbs since Monday. However, because I was/am so dehydrated he said that is partially expected. Gala

Thats not too fast - the first month or two your weight flies off so fast your head will spin! Hope you feel better soon!

Gala - don't be too shocked if you find you'll gain a couple pounds back. Are bodies are made up of something like 70% water and you were VERY dehydrated. Water is heavy. When you become more hydrated you may find the scales showing a couple pound gain. You should start feeling better emotionally as well as physically now. Hang in there Gala. Melody
