I don't mean to sound insensitive, but what in the heck is a pain pouch thing? What do you mean by you found a leak? Do you mean you have a drain that's leaking?

I'm glad the pain is becoming manageable.

My group had me drinking one ounce every 15 minutes....in ten sips. Little tiny sips is key.

If it feels like you're spending ALL DAY taking a million little tiny sips, you're on the right track.

Are you tolerating regular Protein Shakes? Have you tried them? Or is the Protein Water easier for you?

Three days out, I was alternating 4 ounces of clear Fluid one hour, 4 ounces of Protein Shake the next....all freakin day.

Do your best. Don't get dehydrated. But, if you do...don't be a hero. Call your group and get in for some fluids and keep working at it.

Other suggestions...

Walking and gentle stretches helped me a lot.

Switching off the Rx Narcotic as soon as I could... and onto only liquid Tylenol helped my guts start to work again.

Don't nap for longer than 30 minutes during the day...you'll lose precious hydration hours.

Sip, Sip, Sip!

I had a On-cue infusion pain pump. The wires had a leak before it entered my body. I remove them today, and my pain is minimal.

I’m on a clear liquid diet for a week after my surgery, and I’m supposed to be drinking clear Protein Water. Not having a problem drinking fluids, it’s more of a problem drinking the protein water, because it taste so bad. I was hoping to get some suggestions on how to get it down.
