I Need Some Help Please Sx 8/13

[Nita1019 23]

Am a so exhausted. I make myself get up and walk eat and drink. Is this normal 3days out?

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......

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.

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
