Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I swore that I would NEVER go into a hospital again except maybe for a TT. Last night the hospital sounded wonderful. I'm glad I didn't and besides I couldn't bear to wake my daughter up after she had been up with me for so many hours. She has two toddlers ages 2 and 3, a husband who works nights and now a good for nothing mom (just kidding) to deal with. She is the best! I'm feeling better, but not great. Wish I could get some protein drinks down. Going to see about some pre-made ones today if I can get out of the house. Thanks for caring Vivian in California Open RNY - 03/29/02 272.5/254 - as of 04/10/02 In California - Feeling Better - It sounds like you've really been through the wringer lately. I hope you're feeling better now. Make sure you touch base with your doctor. I know after everything you've been through, you probably rather not have anything more to do with hospitals et. al, but you don't want to get dehydrated or something! Take care.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 - I know very little about protein drinks, but someone on ObesityHelp.com said that GNC has some sugarfree drinks that are kind of like gatorade. I believe they are called Isopure or something like that. Maybe this would work until you get back your taste for the other stuff you have.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I'm with you, Jeanne, I don't know much about them either, but I have a feeling I will before long. I already went to the store and bought 4 different kinds of protein drinks. They are in the fridge cooling. I don't think I saw the Isopure. I saw on TV the other day that Gatorade was putting out water with vitamins. Didn't think to look while I was there. I'm having a hard time concentrating and the girl in the store was pretty clueless, nice, but clueless. Thanks. If these don't work I will look for the Isopure. in California Open RNY - 03/29/02 272.5/254 - as of 04/10/02 Re: In California - Feeling Better - I know very little about protein drinks, but someone on ObesityHelp.com said that GNC has some sugarfree drinks that are kind of like gatorade.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I looked up dehydration on the internet and it said that at the stage I am at (moderate) I can hydrate at home. Just keep drinking. I'm going to call the doctors office tomorrow morning.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 That's what I'm doing. So far, I'm doing ok. I was feeling a bit sick when I tried to drink the meal supplement that I thought was a protein sup. but feel better right now. Taking it easy and keeping my bowl nearby just in case. If anything changes in the night I will wake the doctor up. My daughter or son-in-law can drive me to the hospital, if necessary.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 OK, as long as you DO it. Maybe a dab of fruit juice or something mild in your water? Some cool peppermint tea or lemon? Anything that soothes.... JUST SUCK IT DOWN! LOL! When I had my c-scope last summer, I was deliberately dehydrated. I could barely walk into the hospital, could not push my brain along in front of me, NO veins so they COULD hydrate me, OH MY GOSH, I was so miserable and they did it to me on purpose. That's why I'm being SUCH a nuisance about it. That was a controlled dehydration, but it went SO FAST, and I felt so very weak, stumbled and slurred like a drunk. Ataxia, they call it,.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Well, wait a sec. BEING dehydrated doesn't mean dead. It only means that she needs to recognize it and take steps. If she can rehydrate herself, then she doesn't need to be poked to do it. HOWEVER, it's much harder to hydrate us when they can't get a needle into us. I understand not wanting to drink anything after irritating the pouch for hours. That stomach lining is hopping mad at her!!! But this IS long past " might " be dehydrated. So, hopefully, she kept on sucking down fluids all evening.
