feel horrible

I've been feeling lightheaded and had really bad diarrhea for the past few days. I'm three weeks out today.I called the NP and she put me back on liquids. I feel so horrible right now. I keep losing my train of thought and just feel so weak. I might have pushed myself to hard today but I'm so dramatic...I'm afraid I'm going to die. Ugh. Please keep my in your thoughts and prayers.

 i hope you feel better soon.  Keep up your bear necessities (vitamins) 

Yeah, they only have me on two multis a day and nothing else for now. It might be that I need more liquids. I'm trying...

Sounds like you might be dehydrated.

Make sure to get in your protein shakes & vites.  The protein shakes are going to pack the most nutrition & get you protein while getting liquids.  I hope you feel better soon!

sip, sip, sip, being dehydrated can really bring you down fast.  And it's time to begin to get in you big girl vitamins.  Just multis aren't enough.  What were you eating before the NP put you back on liquids.  Try to figure out what was giving you the diarrhea.  Could you be lactose intolerant?  How about whey and sugar alcohols.  Read labels carefully. Do a little dectective work.  Hope you feel better soon.  :o)

Thanks guys, I am feeling much better today. Kicked up my fluids and protein shakes.

 So glad you're feeling better.  I'm right behind you as I am two weeks out from my DS surgery.  Definitely sounds like dehydration.  I felt like this my first week and kicking up my liquids made all the difference.  Hang in there....we can do this!  :)

hope you get to feeling beter. I will keep you in my parayers.

Thanks for the encouragment and information. I admit that I haven't been the most compliant patient but I am now committed to taking my health seriously.
