Had my surgery on Monday the 13th at 730am and I was discharged home today at noon.

I'm exhausted and in pain, and I'm struggling getting in my fluids around the fact im so sleepy. Any suggestions?

Get an egg-timer and set it for 10 minutes. Every time it rings take another sip. That was the only way I could get myself to keep sipping. The first few days are the worst, you'll turn a corners soon!

Hang in there!

I'm 8 days out and trust me it gets better, I was having a very hard time with fliuds or getting anything down! I sipped, walked, and sipped.....i slept alot too, still napping during the day but when you hear that each day is better it really is and I was able to drink more each day too...hang in there! Your on your way now to a better life!

I like that idea. Must put on my to do list

Question ladies, how much can we drink every 10 min? I was sleeve 8/7

Justine- Another sleever recommended that to me and it worked for me!

I was told by my NUT 3 oz every 15 mins.
