I am 4 days post op and having a really hard time. The incision pain is terrible on top of my abdomen just plain sore. I had to quit taking Lortab because it was making me nasious. I've been sleeping almost all day because I'm physically drained. I know I didn't hit my fluid quota yesterday and I'm struggling again with it today. How bad is it if I don't get all my fluids? Mostly because I've been sleeping. Help! I'm really starting to regret the surgery

Don't worry this is so normal! I had so many nervous breakdowns the first few weeks, thinking about what I had done. You get over that sooo fast though! I couldn't be happier with my decision. I feel wonderful now, with no pain of any kind. Plus you start losing that excess weight and you can't believe you ever doubted it in the first place! Praying for you!

_{VST Addict, I think I am going to need you to cheer me on after my surgery too!}

It is completely normal to feel exhausted, you just had major surgery. Dont worry about the water, just keep on trying, it will all fall into place soon. Dont give up, you can do this. Hugs to you!

PJ You just let me know haha It's rough but it's soooo worth it

Thanx guys. I'm also trying to add protein and this is going to be a tough battle ahead.

I am 3 mths out. I slept lots the first few weeks. Don't beat yourself up about the fluids. It's all overwhelming for several weeks. Just do the best u can and concentrate on sipping and getting your Protein in. Watch the color of your urine. As long as it doesn't get dark you are doing ok!! It gets better!
