First full day home and need reassurance please
These feelings will absolutely pass! You are still fresh out of surgery - and while it was laproscopic it was still major surgery so everything you are feeling and experiencing is normal.
In regards to getting your fluids in...try something warm (not hot) like herbal tea or even room temp water. This may go down easier then something really cold. Of course your goal is 64oz but don't overwhelm yourself..aim for 30oz and go from there.
I can't say I had a hard time post-op - I felt tired and a bit of pain...but I knew I just needed to rest and heal and things would get easier. Keep a positive attitude and just know this is one small step towards your bigger goal.
I am still hurting when I get up from sitting or lying down. As a matter of fact, I finally got to sleep lying down for the first time last night. I was sleeping with a lot of pillows propping me up. Keeping sipping and walking is so necessary - when you can. Don't push yourself or do more than you think you can.
If you're tired, rest, but don't forget to walk, walk, and sip.
You just gotta keep hydrated - if nothing else, focus on that all day. I wasn't very sucessful at it so I had to get IV fluids. There's a lot of swelling right now, still have anesthia in your system probably, maybe pain meds if you are taking them - might make you sleepy.
It's normal. Even if some people want to say they were running marathons a couple days out - dont listen to that :)
