When will I feel normal again. I had a smooth surgery July 29th. I had some scar tissue that was stuck to a lot and they removed a bunch but nothing really hurts horrible except drinking. I can barely get in 25 oz of Fluid. And that was only today... I had half cup of skim milk and half a cup of my premier Protein drink and that's it for protein. Its so heavy on my tummy. Along with my liquid hydrocodone. And I CANNOT take my liquid stool softener it makes my throat burn and I start bawling.

I feel totally run down and I cry every night. I heard after the first week is so much better but I am terrified I'm not getting enough of anything in. I love ice chips and sf Popsicles but I'm only supposed to have 1 sf Popsicle a day... I'm so weak and tired but afraid to take naps because I don't wanna miss drinking fluids..

Please someone who has been this way I need to know this is going to pass. I can't cry anymore my 10 yr old is so worried about me

Please give me some advice please!

Cindy I am on day 9. Still have one good day then a bad day. Somedays I get real close to 60 grams. Yesterday only 15. I mainly worry about dehydration and rest will come. I can drink a little easier each day. I actually might make a full 48 oz today. So take it slow and really remember to stop drinking about 30 minutes before your protein then wait 30 more. It slowed my bathroom trips a ton.

I took quite a large pill from day 2 with minimal water. No problems. And I have the most conservative doctor - other than meds we were nil by mouth till the 5th day.
