Sleeved July 10, 2014

I have a few questions

1. When do I start exercising?

2. When can I sleep on my side or stomach

3. I can drink all my 80g if protein but have problems drinking my 64oz water. Lately it's only been 20oz . Is that real bad?

Hi Angie, i started walking the day after I got home. At first I did 2 10 min walks and have gradually increased it to 30 min. I am walking at a leisurely pace in the beginning I was really slow. As far as sleeping on your side being a side sleeper myself I put a pillow down against my side to cushion my stomach. I would wake up in the beginning but now 3 weeks after no pillow and sleeping well. Sorry I cannot help with the liquid intake I did not have a concern there and did not have any trouble. Try flavored water. I use crystal light.

Just do the best you can do and Good Luck! I hope I helped.

I believe your Protein drinks count towards your liquid intake, of course I am assuming that you are still on all liquids at this point.

Thanks!! :) I walk around my house and I feel as if I can walk more but my partner thinks it's too soon and I will hurt myself. I will try crystal light ????

I started walking around my apartment the week after surgery. At 6 weeks I was allowed to add in machines to help with strength & muscles. I still drink 1 Protein drink a day & try to drink a second one for a snack. This counts towards liquid & I'm terrible about drinking Water.

As for side sleeping, I was able to do this when I got home from the hospital.
