Trying to drink my H2O right after surgery

Hi everyone, I am home, 2nd day from hospital, and trying to drink my H2O. I am finding that I am getting heartburn like sensations. Has anyone else experienced this?

No, just burp a lot after I drink water. Don't forget just sip don't drink. What did you have for breakfast? Last night for dinner I had a melon profect...omgosh is was so wonderful. I can't wait to try the next flavor. This morning I had a little bit of applesauce sugar free with my crushed up pills and then I had a couple of oz of grits. Yummy but I think I ate just a little too much. going to try some broth for lunch and then later a protein shake. Anna

Dinner last night was Lipton Cream of Chicken soup about 1/2 cup and it went down without a problem. I sure got full......amazing how I ate the 1/2 cup and left about 1/4 cup and didn't even want the rest because I was full. I am going to get in the habit of drinking my protein shake for breakfast each day because I start work at 6 AM each day and it will be an easy thing for me to prepare and take to work for breakfast. Today for lunch I think I will try 1/4 Cup of Cottage Cheese and maybe 1/4 unsweetened applesauce. Wehre do you get profect? I have heard it mentioned before but don't know where to find it. Is it a protein drink? Darla

I didn't know we could have grits. How do you eat them? Also, what is melon profect.

Hi Tracie I have the same questions. Hopefully Anna will see this reply of yours and reply. I'm curious about thoe things as well.

Hey Darla! I had the heartburn sensation really bad the first week post-op, I asked the Dr. and he said it is not heartburn because there is no acid in there to cause it. My Dr. said it is just everything being swollen and trying to heal. I am 2.5 weeks post op and it does not happen so much anymore! Good LUCK

Hi Lea, Thank you so much for telling me this. Drinking water has been difficult because of the discomfort from the "false" sensation of heartburn then, not to mention how full I feel. Now that is encouraging what you shared with me. Thanks bunches. Darla

Darla, I found a website for the melon profect. See the link below. I found other webistes but they only sell it by the case or samples with 4 different flavors. I read over some other post and everybody seems to think the melon is the best. This site allows you to order individual vials at 2.99 each. I am still waiting to hear about the grits. http://gallery.bcentral.com/GID5150679DD529253-Protein%2bsupplements/Profect.aspx?page=1

thank you very much Tricie. Darla

I had the feeling as well. I was told that I need to drink slower and not so much. Sip, not gulp that is. I still have a hard time with gulping. I catch myself on occasion having just gulped and the pain is so intense it feels like my ribs are splitting. Sabrina
