Im ten days post op, and realized I need different powder because the one I bought makes me extremely sick. Thing is, I have to go without it until I get my check four days away! Im trying to eat as much protein as I can, but i know its not near enough.. I've also been getting sharp pains in my head randomly..I don't feel like I can drink enough during the day either...im taking my vitamins like im supposed to...I guess im starting to feel kinda overwhelmed or something..I don't think im doing anything right. Ugh.

You & I both waiting for the check my kids want me to do so many things & even free things cost money kids love eating out. Hope this money can stretch for a bit.

It's hard when you can't handle a food or Protein shake anymore. Our stomach changes so much.

Your probably doing just fine. I was only getting about 20 grams of protein in at 10 days. Everything will work out eventually. It is very overwhelming. Its a completely new way of living literally overnight. Not sure about the pains in your head. Maybe a withdrawal of some sort (carbs, caffeine) but I would talk to your doc about it. Just do the best you can.

My best advice is do the best you can. I'm 8 months post op and I have plenty of days I don't get all my fluids or protein in and I've been this way from day one. Each day gets better. Just try the best you can for the fluids....dehydration sucks and can really mess you up.

Thanks guys, Very encouraging.
