Not dehydrated any more!
I'm six days out from surgery.
You know, before surgery, I figured I would really be missing food.
It turns out that what I REALLY wanted after surgery, more than anything else, was to gulp down an ice-cold Gatorade. Because I was THIRSTY and I could only take in the tiniest amount of liquid.
For the next five days I was dehydrated and thirsty, and I could only sip tiny amounts.
I pleased to report a major turn-around today. I can take larger, more frequent sips. I can drink maybe 8-10 fluid oz per hour. I'm finally getting in all my protein, and I don't feel dehydrated any more.
I never knew cool liquid could be so satisfying. I bet I'll just explode with delight when I get to pureed foods.
