Dehydration

Without getting into too much detail, I had some complications this weekend which had me a little distressed.  I went to emergency as instructed by the surgeon in Utica and Geoff.  After some tests, I was sent home with antibiotics. 

I spoke with a nurse from Utica this morning to tell her all of my symptoms from over the weekend and the result is that I am working towards dehydration which is causing most of the symptoms that I'm feeling.  For the most part, I was thinking that I was taking enough fluids in, however they proved me wrong.  So I'm sip, sip, sipping at least an ounce every 10-15 minutes to try to meet the goal of drinking 64 ounces per day. 

I'm going to my first support group tonight which is exciting for me since I haven't been able to really get out to socialize.  My Obesity Help Angel will be driving me to the meeting.  We will be sharing different experiences throughout our journeys and meeting different people.  I tire out pretty fast, so I'm hoping to be able to enjoy myself.

Cheers!
