      Have you tried flavoring the water? I have used fresh fruit slices such as lemon and lime. Also there are drink mixes and things like MIO drops. Good luck.

      I started feeling better once I began eating real food and not just the shakes. There are soft foods that are easy and portable like String Cheese sticks and Greek yogurt. Also you can prep hard boiled eggs and divide canned goods into serving size amounts that you can take to work. Take some time for YOU and make a plan so that you can feel better! Good luck!

      Good idea about the apple juice. Regarding protein, you might want to look into the no flavor protein powders that you can add to your foods. That may help you get the boost you need! Good luck!

  5. Starting gratitude list now: just over 2 weeks post op and already blood pressure is consistently normal without meds! Before surgery ON meds I was lucky to get a 140/95. Now I'm 117/78. :)

      Sorry it didn't go better than expected. I think the "Take one day at a time" advise is crucial for re-entry. I hope things improve quickly for you.
