I made the mistake of doing some math today....

Post-op I am to drink 3-4 ounces an hour with specific instructions of no more than 4 ounces an hour for the first 2 months-check!.

I'm supposed to drink 64 ounces a day-check!

I'm supposed to not drink 30 minutes before meals, take 30 minutes for each meal, and not drink for at least 30 minutes after meals-check!

Wait, huh? Apparently, in order to follow the rules and get my fluids in I can only sleep 3 1/2 hours a night???? This ought to be interesting!!!!!

I am new to the community and this is my first post. My surgery date is Feb. 18, just 2 weeks away. I am so excited, but very very nervous at the same time. Also started my pre-op diet today. The first half of the day went great, but by 2 p.m. I was starving and had a major headache. I am sure in a few days that it will get easier.

Oh that headache can be a nasty one. My surgery is Thursday, and my doc has his patients do 5 days of clear liquids. I'm grateful it's short and he allows protein shakes, but I am really struggling tonight. I had a full blown, kick in the head, vomiting kind of migraine the first night. It cleared, now I am just a little fuzzy brained and really tired. It's easier, but it's hour to hour.
