Day 3 post op. feeling so tired and lightheaded... Kind of dizzy.... Is this normal

How much Protein are you eating each day?

Not much with chicken brothe and ice pops. I do have clear ensure with protein, but I am just not hungry. Suggestions ?

Are you drinking plenty of water?

Get some Protein mix with whey isolates and you should be getting down 60-80 grams per day. I concur about Water too--check your hydration a couple ways:

1. What is color of urine?

2. Do skin test, grab one wrist (normal grip). How long until color returns to your wrist?

I was told clear liquids only. Isn't whey mix for shakes? My mom is going to Gnc to pick me up some clear liquid protein in a few

Day 3? Probably still just the anesthetic working it's way through your system. Everybody is different. During my stay at the hospital I slept for the better part of 3 days.

Sorry, that's right--not all doctors are the same. Mine had me on full liquids by day 2. Otherwise, drink Isopure which is clear (apple melon is best).

I just called my doctor and he said to switch from sugar free drinks and ice pops to ones with sugar so I can get some calories in me. Hopefully that helps. I wish I could just make a protein shake and not feel dizzy

I hah surgery this morning. Can I have an herbal tea? My doctor said only water but I think tea may be okay.

On my post-op diet sheet it lists tea so it might be ok. I'll call to make sure and congrats! I had surgery today also *4/24/13*

Congratulations to you too! How are you feeling? My left shoulder and abdomen are very sore. It's hard to lie down. I was sitting on my vouch for an hour and now I'm walking around my house, swinging my arms.

The left side of my stomach is sore also. I've been walking around the house a little bit also. It's hard for me to pay down too so I been sitting up in the bed.

Yep I slept and still am propped up on pillows... It helps so I'm not flat and that's how they had me in the hospital. I find its easier to get in and out of bed that way,,
