Help How long will it take to die of dehydration while still eating food? Is it painful?

[adriana233]

I'm currently hospitalized and I have absolutely no access to any other method. I've noticed that the nurses don't pay attention to if you're drinking or not, but they do make you eat eventually if you refuse to eat anything.

I've never tried this before, so idk how difficult or painful it actually is. Does somebody have any tips?

Sorry to hear that you are in those circumstances atm.
Dehydration can take ages, especially if you eat food that contains liquids. If they notice you are feeling unwell they will very likely just give you an infusion. So it is really not worth it imo.

Not recommended since this will not be a pleasent ride. Check the wikipedia article on the topic.

You are hospitalized ?
They will not let you die from dehydration even if it is the worst hospital on this planet. Drink water.
