How do most people feel about a week out?

I feel achey in my joints & very nauseous.  Has anyone else had this experience?

It's perfectly normal to feel like crap for a few weeks, but it specifically sounds like you are dehydrated.  You are well hydrated when you're attached to an IV at the hospital, but from the moment that IV is removed, you have a daily minimum goal of fluids at 64oz.  It's not something you work up to - you need it NOW.  Your body doesn't care that it's difficult and it's letting you know of it's displeasure.

Thank you for your thoughts, I'm probably dehydrated.  I do have a call into the Dr too.

Be well.

No, I was only nauseous for the first day home from the hospital. Never had achy joints. Maybe you are coming down with something else. I hope not!!! Good Luck. Hope you feel better. At one week I was just tired and I did feel hungry. Strained chicken broth was the most soothing food I could have then. Drinking something warm was best for me. I couldn't tolerate cold.

I had no symptoms like that. Are you keeping hydrated? I felt tired and bored Any nauseous was due to maybe eating too fast..

Tired from only having clear liquids but otherwise pretty good.  Are you still taking pain meds?
