It : It would be important to assess why you became so dehydrated. Sometimes dehydration occurs because of the environment around you, for example if it is too hot in the workplace. Sometimes we become dehydrated because we haven't had enough liquid intake, and sometimes because we are sick, for example with vomiting or diarrhea. Your idea of drinking gatorade and eating bananas is a good idea, and be sure to drink plenty of water also. I would advise have a medical evaluation prior to returning to work to discuss this situation with your physician, and to discuss ways to prevent dehydration in the future.
