Not really feeling hungry or missing food, but I don't even have a want to do anything. Drinking is going slowly, but I have been checking my hydration levels on my scale. I just feel blah! My body aches from resting but the hernia repair hurts if I am up and around too long. I slept most of yesterday thanks to the pain pills, but havent taken any today. I will tonight just to get some sleep. I still feel bloated (but am not holding onto any water weight from the surgery). I thikn I just have the blues and can't figure out how to kick them in the a$$.
Some folks have depression after their surgery. You have just been through a major ordeal. Your body doesn't know what hit it. Just keep on sippin, walk a little, sip a little more, ice chips are nice to help...
I had a hernia repair as well. When I was 4 or 5 days out I felt BLEAH, too. I slept a lot.
Your energy levels will return shortly. It DOES get better every day.
And, when that weight starts falling off you let us know!!!!!
Hugs and prayers,
Sharon
Try to get in some protein. A product called New Whey is one of the ones that my surgeon (woot! as of May 25th!) recommends. It's 3.5 oz and like 45 grams of protein. Apparently it's better tolerated than the isopure. rest sip rest sip, lather rinse repeat!
