5 weeks out

I forgot to post yesterday like I do weekly! I have lost a total of 32 lbs as of today!! I am doing good---apparently I may be struggling to get in all my liquids...I think my headaches daily may be a side effect of that?? I am probably getting around 40 oz of liquids a day...I think I need around 64?? I dont know how people manage this! do not let anyone tell u its easy because it is not!! 

 I am immediately preop and I was afraid about this.  I still have my IV in and I tested it out today.  It takes consistent sipping but it can be done.  Your symptoms are probably due to dehydration and your entire body will not function well in that state.  #1  - Protein  #2 water, #3 vitamins then whatever else.

indeed, it is very easy to get dehydrated and hard to get in fluids. at least thats how i felt.

i ended up needing iv fluids 3 times in 3 months, because if you fall behind you cant catch up.

i imagine the headaches can be caused by the dehydration, also dehydration can lower your blood pressure and give you headaches too.

try and get a regimented drinking routine, like setting a time for every 15 mins and bringing a bottle of water with you everywhere.

and if you ever feel like you really arent getting it in, go get a bag of fluids or 2. it really makes you feel better!
