First day home from hospital. I can not figure out how I'm supposed to get 3 protein shakes, water, broth. jello down. I'm lucky if I get water down. :-(
I have yet to have anything other than crystal light and water. My surgery was 11/13. Day 1-3 my instructions were to hydrate only. Tomorrow I'm supposed to progress to 4 shakes. I can't imagine it but I'm sure my body needs something other than water and crystal light so I'll do my best.
Those are 'goals' to work towards. Your medical team knows it's not possible early on, but you must work toward those goals. Keep those drinks next to you all day...aim for a sip/swallow every 5-10mins. It works if you work it.
