I got home from the hospital yesterday. I think I am doing okay - seems like it is impossible to get in all my fluids but I am trying. Day 2 was terrible and it hurt so bad to even take a sip of water. Better today and I don't really even need any pain meds. I am on clears for a week and the full liquid for a week. Hope to go for a little walk today.

Walk and sip is right!

Hang loose. You'll be fine.

And oh by the way--YOU'RE ON THE LOSERS' BENCH!

I'm post op day 4 as well. I agree day 2 was the worst! I too struggle with my fluids. I literally set the alarm on my phone for every 10-15 minutes and then sip 1 ounce. It's an all day challenge. I still haven't hit 64 ounces but am coming close.
Hang in there! Every day will be better than the day before!
