Tanaproma, I had my surgery on April 1st. I sip Water, crystal light, herbal tea, strained cream Soup and Protein shake every 1 - 5 minutes, depend on how I feeling. I drink something every hour, 4 oz - 5 oz per hour. I still have to take gas pills here and there, I get real bad gas and the pills are great. Today I am going to try Beano before my shakes to see if that helps.
Tanaproma, you need to get up and at least walk whenever you can. I started walking hours after my surgery and haven't stopped. Yes, it hurt but I knew it was best for me. Take baby steps and walk whenever and often as you can. Like that old Christmas song says"
"Put one foot in front of the other And soon you'll be walking cross the floor Put one foot in front of the other And soon you'll be walking out the door"
Mind over matter. Another thing, I always take a bottle of Water with me to drink, when needed (Park or Gym).
HI, I feel great. Exercise twice a day, Gym in the morning (before work) during 45 minutes to 1 hours of cardio. I choose between the 4 type of cardio each day.
30 mins of Treadmill-Walking with incline
30 mins Elliptical 1
30 mins Stairs Master (Climber)
15 mins bike
Evening (after work)
1.5 miles walk at city park
I feel great and on Phase 2 (liquid Protein Diet).
I am able to meet the recommendation of 60 oz per day and Drink 40-60 gm of protein daily.
