POST OP 4 DAYS OUT.. ANYONE ELSE WONDERING HOW YOUR FEELING

Triedto stay a bit active today.. pretty much in pain. I don't understand walk walk walk and night comes and I am in pain. Not gas pain pretty scared to just try and relax. I had my 64 oz of water ..cup of broth and a cup of tea. Is that enough?

How far out are you?  You want to move but its easy to over-do things if you're early in recovery.  It looks like you got plenty of fluids which is fantastic, however now you want to start adding protein to the mix.

Had surgery on Monday. I was told no protein shakes yet.. what else with protein

They must be starting you off really slow.  If you can have full liquids, though, a kefir smoothie (think liquid yogurt) has the benefit of protein and probiotics.  They are on the top shelf at Walmart and probably in the organic hippie section of your grocery store if they're not by the yogurt.

i was told in the first week just worry about getting your fluids in. the 2nd week you will start your proteins. The nurses, "NUT" and dr told me to only worry about hydrating the first week out.

U made me laugh.. nurses scared me so bad. I went to Shoprite this morning to walk and get tea .I am going to nap .. then run to the mall.. walk before the snow prob nap again. Still not sleeping well. What does your days consist of?

Please remove your phone numbers from the internet.  There are too many crazy people available.

 

 

Ty.. I will
