7-26 surgery not feeling well

I had my surgery on Tuesday 7-26 came home on Thursday7-28 ...everything seemed to be going well until today. I'm having pain right about my JP drip and the fluid coming out is clear pink to clear yellow. Is this normal? Or should i go have it checked. My energy level is very low...I hate drinking the clear liquids but force them down. I've tried a whey protein mix and can't stand it....what other protein mixes is everyone using????? please help!! thanks I hope everyone is doing well.

I had my surgery on 7/25.. As far as the fluid coming out that's normal.. I get my drain out tomorrow. If it starts to smell foul or you get a high fever then it's time to check it out. Clear liquids are also tough going down.. but i've tried pudding and there much better. I also use herbalife shakes.. It also stayed down.. My problem is the gas pain.. I hope you feel better.

Hey Marlene, I used Mylanta chewables. It really helped me with the gas. I don't really have it anymore. Whew!! Glad that's over with. take care, Amy

Hey teresa my fellow 26'er Sorry to hear your not feeling well. I had my surgery on the 26th and except for low energy I'm pretty much back to normal. There are so many different mixes out there. I got a whole bunch of samples from vitalady.com but have ended up just using the EAS whey protein from Walmart. It isn't great but I can get it down. It's got a light choclate taste and mixes up really thin. I also got sugar free flavors from Cost Plus Markets (and some from Vitalady). Alot of people add that to change the taste of the shakes. Oh yeah and sf pudding...people add that too. You really gotta try and get those protein drinks in. I know it's hard..each one is a battle for me too but I think that's why I feel so well. Take care I'll be around..at least till aug 11th when I go back to work. If you need someone to talk to email me anytime [email protected] Amy www.closertofine.net

Hi teresa, I like the Isopure from GNC This is 40grams of liquid protien that tastes like koolaid and there's lots of flavors. Hope this helps, Bonnie

Hey my fellow 26er! I am sorry your not feeling well. Give it time. How long until you get the drain out? You'll be jealous that mine were out before I left. They did a upper GI and then when it was ok- they took the drains out prior to me being released! I was so happy! I immediately felt better (no kidding!) As for the protein drinks... I hate to even discuss them. Right now all of it is yuck to me (even all the stuff I liked pre-op). The only one I liked even a tiny bit was the Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonaide. Unfortunately I only had a sample pack of it. But I have some on order now. (Oddly, I had a long list of one's I liked prior to surgery-- I just feel like I am forcing them down now!) Hugs! It will get better! Linda
