Everything went great im walking and breathing right I just get so full sipping on the water and the doc won't let me go home till I can drink 4 cups and 2 protein shakes

Hi Jenn! I had my surgery yesterday also. I'm doing great, too! I started walking yesterday and I had my first medicine cup of water this morning at 7am. I just finished cup 2&3 and went on walk #5. I'm doing everything I can to recover quickly. Glad to hear you are doing well also. Let's stay in touch!!

Four full cups? or four medicine cups?

Four foam cups of water and 2 8oz protein shakes

That's a lot of liquid!! I hope you are keeping good records, lol.

Congratulations to both of you on your surgeries yesterday! Mine was 5 weeks ago today. The day after my surgery I was barely conscious, lol. My oxygen kept dropping into the 70s and I was extremely nauseous, so my recovery didn't start until 2 days post-op. I wish you both speedy recoveries. Welcome to the other side!

Use the spirometer!! I ended up with pneumonia a week post op and it's made an already rough journey so much harder than it would have been !! Also do everything you can to stay hydrated, that's no fun either ! I'm 19 days post op today and just now feeling good again.

My surgery was on Monday and I am still in the hospital but hoping to go home tomorrow. Getting my walks in and my plan is to not have more than two oz of fluid per hour. Funny how every plan I'd different. My oxygen and blood pressure are still low but hopefully they will be all set tomorrow. Good to tal to others with same surgery dates.
