5Days Postop

Well Im 5 days out. Can't say it has been the easiest or the hardest 5 days of my life.

I couldn't drink more then about 16 oz of Fluid for the first couple days. I knew this was not good, but, thats how it was.

I resorted to drinking Gatorade. I needed to get as much electrolytes I could and this was what I went with.

I discovered I was not big on cold liquids. Didn't feel right.

So I have gone to room temp to warm liquids. Feels so much better.

Yesterday I felt pretty good and pushed myself to get more fluids in.

Ensure Clear is nasty, but I Water it down and that works.

chicken broth is nasty. Beef Broth OK.

I resorted to making a "Cup Of Noodle" Soup and just drinking the liquid. Wow, that is so much better.

My Dr. does Clear Liquids for the first week postop. Then, full liquids week 2.

I feel so good today and see things only going up from here.

I will say, I did have a few points in the past few days of "What the hell have I done". But, move on and don't have a pitty party for myself.

As of today, I don't think I will be having thoughts like that again. Looking so forward to the things ahead.
