I just slept and didn’t really want anyone there, my sister came for about 10 minutes right after I got to my room. I just wanted to sleep. As far as the vitamins go I had the same worries. I bought a 2 month supply of Barimelt brand vitamins. After a couple months you can just take regular vitamins from Target or Walmart. Your dog will appreciate your husbands company more than you will. I way over packed for the hospital, I really only needed pjs. I had so many worries too, all unnecessary. It was all really SO much easier than I expected. Within a week you feel better than you have felt in years! It is so worth it.

I had surgery 5 days ago and used one on the long drive home, going up and down stairs and walking. I think it’s most helpful the first few days.

Yes she is not listening to you, I would try to get another one. I don’t think mine is terribly bright either, but it also their education and training is out of date. I do think you need to follow the guidelines as far as water goes. The #1 cause of re-hospitalization is dehydration. Maybe you could just drink an ounce of liquid every 10 minutes and that will help you tolerate it better. I wouldn’t worry about loosing to much weight, it’s normal, it’s also normal that you will gain some back after a year or two, so just let it happen. As far as dairy goes our bodies don’t really need dairy, but you do need the protein it provides. Have you tried ISOPURE PROTEIN POWDER (0 carbs)? You can put it on or in anything, one scoop is 29 grams of protein, you can spread out through the day. Even if you just sprinkle some on whatever your eating will give you extra protein. I have problems with constipation too and it is perfectly safe to put MiraLAX in some water everyday which will eventually keep things moving.
