Well surgery is done and I am home now. Just on 48 hours since I was in recovery...

Such a weird feeling.

The nausea and 'spun out' feeling I am getting is my only real issue. Just want to feel normal. But of course I won't.

Having a hard time drinking water/juice, but I love sucking ice cubes.

The other crazy thing I am going through is smelling yummy foods and just getting so down about it emotionally - I am not hungry and would never ever want/need foods, obviously at this early stage, but I am struggling to know I CANNOT eat. Weird....

Any advice?

Thanks

When your able to actually drink comfortably I find that my protein shake takes the craving away and that it's trully just a mind hunger and you are fresh out so not feeling so good is normal once you start getting more protein in and water you will tons better

Thanks! I can't wait for the day that I can start to sip protein shakes and get in some more fluid! It feels like such a chore to sip on water/juice - I just wish I had an IV in haha....thanks again.

You should be able to drink them I was on protein shakes before I left the hospital and I drank chicken broth also
