It's normal. Make sure you are getting enough fluids. Dehydration is nothing to mess around with. Above all else, sip, sip, sip. Getting up and just shuffling around the house will help too. Don't overdo it. You just had major surgery.

I'm 8 days out and just taking a shower exhaust me. But it is slowly getting better. I'm trying to get in as much protein and fluids as I can. When I get frustrated I just remind myself that I just had major surgery. Hang in there......

Are you doing the wait 30min before and after with food and Water?

This is a must , if you eat and drink at the same time or to soon it flushes the food out of you pouch, than you will be hungery again all over again.

how long does it take to drink a cup of water

how long does it take to drink a cup of Water

Depends how far out you are but here is my rule of thumb. I take one swallow every 15-20 seconds. Going thru a cup in about 45 minutes depending.

8 fl oz usually takes me a bit but every surgeons rules are different
