post op day 3 no liquids/no home :(

So im 3days out and i feel good besides the fact that i cant drink! Everytime i try i throw or have severe pain. Anybodu else experience this??

Me too! I am day 2 post op and can only manage very little sips. The anti nausea meds made me feel worse so I stopped taking them. I haven't thrown up since.

Take it easy. It has to get better, right?

You too! Hope you feel better

I am so sorry to hear this!  Speedy Recovery to you!!

P.S. I'm right down the road from you on Syracuse.

Did you have your surgery recently?

Monday afternoon.

Me too!i was supposed to go to syracuse but my insurance wouldn't pay there so i had to come to utica . The hosp is clean , not very impressed with the staff.

I'm surprised there want a program right in Binghamton.

I am on to a shake now but it is VERY slow going. If I get 2 shakes in me then I can go home. Seems like a lofty goal.

sip. wait. sip. wait. repeat.

You are going for 1 ounce every 10 minutes. Do that for 10-11 hours and you will have gotten in all of your water/fluids. Check with your doc, but for me, during the liquid stage, I was allowed to include protein drinks as part of my fluids.

Set a timer for every ten minutes. I have a cool timer app on my phone. Take the ENTIRE 10 minutes to drink the 1 ounce of water.

Even if you don't make it to 64 ounces at first, getting into the habit is a good thing.

Water/fluids are your friend. Dehydration is bad.

Good luck.
