March Surgery!

[Donegirl4life 39]

This is my seventh post op day. I'm feeling pretty good - not much pain at all. However, the one thing that IS a pain is trying to get all the liquids in! The nurse from the hospital called to check up on me and said if I get at least one 20-ounce bottle of the Isopure in a day that's pretty good. Anyone else having issues getting their fluids?

BTW - congrats to those that just had their surgery. I knew it would go well!

1st day post op. Miserable from two tablespoons of veggie broth, drinking since 645 this morning. But I will keep that in mind. I literally have to take ten every hour to get it down.

The very first sip I took from the little cup was a bit more than I should have tried. I threw it up. I know what I did wrong and it hasn't happened again! just pace yourself. By the time I finished ONE item on my Breakfast tray - the lunch tray arrived! Hang in there girl!

Will do. I do not like being this full! No nausea, just a feeling of being overfed. I will take it real slow.

How are you managing to hey fluids in?

How are you managing to hey fluids in?

I sip pretty much all day. I'm still working on my first 1/2 of the bottle of Isopure. I added some Water to it because it seemed too sweet (I got the Grape Frost flavor). I'm doing what I can. See doc tomorrow and maybe he'll start me back on shakes. (I miss chocolate!)

Ok. So I need to have a bottle to my lips all day.

Oh dear. I'm nervous about that! They want me to drink two 32-oz Gatorades (regular, not the G2) every day for the first week after surgery.

You should be fine. My mistake was I tried to gulp the two tablespoons of veggie broth, instead of sipping slowly.

I hear that. I'm a gulper - and will surely need to SLOW down.

It's a process. You can do it.

Your new stomach will remind you to slow down. You'll feel it. I've been telling friends that my stomach is like a funnel with a very small opening at the bottom. If you put too much in a funnel too fast it just sits there. Same thing.

If you can't get the 2 bottles in, do the best you can. Good luck all!

I'm home. I was discharged last night after keeping down liquids and being able to walk laps around the nurses station. The gas x definitely helps with gas. I'm alternating between rest, brearhing exercuses, and walking around the apartment.
