A mixed up kind of day

The last couple of days have been weird - light headed, dizzy which had really been coming on for about a week but got really bad over the last two days.  So went to the CRNP at my primary's office.  Failed the lying/sitting up blood pressure test - dropped 30 points.  Her verdict dehydration and got mad that I had driven myself there.  Had to call my daughter to take me to the ER which took up most of the day getting IV fluids.  That was not fun.  Thought I was drinking enough but obviously not.  So onto the good part.  First got on the scale and found onederland - finally!  Then the ER doc told me I wasn't big enough to have just had RNY.  So two goods, one not so good.  But am home now and drinking.  Not 100% but getting there

What an idiotic thing for the ER doctor to say. Apparently he has no bariatric training--or tact.

Glad to know that you are taking care of the dehydration. Take good care of yourself.

I have to get around 100 oz per day or else I get dizzy. Even then it's iffy. Had 122 the other day and still had to hang onto the wall the next morning.
