Day 4 post op is this normal?

Today is day 4 post op and my first day on full liquids and it’s too hard to get a lot of my liquids in because I feel so full... also I want to sleep most of the time but I know I should walk more but my body just feels tired. Can anyone relate???

Absolutely normal... at least that was my case... you will feel better soon.. I felt better after a week or 2, and liquid intake is a process.. in my case took me almost 2 months to take water without any issues... stay strong pal!


Very common. The thicker liquids may not go down quite as well if you still have notable inflammation in your stomach - some do, some don't. Tired is also normal - recovering from the stress of the surgery takes energy, and most aren't getting many carbohydrates in their diet at this point, which is where our short term energy comes from.

Absolutely, felt the same way. When ever I felt full like that I got up and walked around the backyard. Had my protien drink in hand and when I finished a lap I would take a drink. Took about 5 or 6 laps to finish my 11oz. Premier protien shake but it went down smoother ( not so full feeling) and I got some walking in as well. Did this for 1st couple weeks and I feel it really helped. I understand the overwhelming feeling of knowing you have to get all those fluids in and physically cant. Hang in there. I will get better day by day. Good luck with your journey.

Totally normal. I was super tired/lazy for the first two weeks. It takes a lot out of you. I seemed to have a lot of swelling the first few days and it was really difficult to get anything down, including plain water. The thing I struggled with was not sleeping so much that I cut into my time to get fluids down because it was so tough. Once things start to get on the upswing it will get easier and easier.
