3 days post op

So I had my surgery Thursday went home Saturday, the pain has stopped in my stomache and I've been able to finally pass gas .. but since last night my stomache has Been hurting I feel extremely neasus and I'm shaking. I can't drink anything I know I'm supposed to have I blv 65 grams of Protein a day but I'm barley getting 15. It takes me 2 days to drink one pre made shake. I just want to sleep all day so I can stop feeling sick. I'm very lightheaded as well. Idk if this is because I just had surgery and should give it a couple days or if I should go back to the hospital

    Yu probably feel that way because you are not getting in enough fluids. Which yu will need to go back to the hospital if yu become dehydrated.

    I was sleeved on the 6/20/16 and it was very difficult to get my Protein in the first couple of days but it gets easier as each day passes. But yu have to SIP...SIP... SIP. All day if yu have to. I had to switch protein because my sleeve was refusing the milk based shakes... so I started using the protein that taste like fruit juice. You have to try different things until yu find what works for you!! But if yu don't feel any better yu may need to go to the hospital

    It is common for patients to be unable to meet their Protein and Fluid requirements during the first few weeks after surgery. Their bodies are in a major heal mode. Keep trying each day and you should be able to get there.

    You may need to experiment with various Protein shakes in order to find one that you can tolerate. There are a wide variety out there. You don't have to like it, just tolerate it. Can you drink milk. Eight ounces of 1% milk has 8 grams. If you fortify the milk by adding in a quarter cup of dry powdered milk, it bring it up to 14 grams.
