I have to drink....MORE??!!??

Mar 19, 2012

I am officially 1 week post surgical and to be...I feel so much better.   I am moving around a lot better, getting up and down and walking does not cause as much discomfort as it has in the past.  My bowels have woken up and, as uncomfortable as that can be (because it's liquid) it's been a blessing to get the gas out of my belly!  The more I go, the less internal gas I have and the more comfortable I am.  But I am taking Kirmy's advice to heart, "Never trust a fart."  Once I have the feeling to go, I go IMMEDIATELY. 

I am really struggling with the protein and water intake.  Grand Health Partners wants me to be drinking 64oz of water and 4 suppliments of protein.  Honestly, I am struggling with getting down 2 16.9oz bottles of water and 2-3 protein suppliments.  I am sipping all the time, when I am not drinking I feel very full.  I have a fear that I am going to cause a leak in my belly by drinking too much. 

I certainly don't feel dehydrated or hungry.  I am regularly using the toilet, so my output is good and I am not concerned about dehydration.  However, I KNOW that I am not drinking as much as what GHP wants me to be drinking.
