4 days out and finally feeling I didn't make a mistake!!!

Hi-I got home on Friday from my 2/1 surgery. Have to be honest, lots of pain in the hospital, (surgery was alittle more involved than usual). Really had second thoughts and was pretty miserable for 2 days!!!!! Good new though, I'm home and I feel really good and getting stronger each day. Treated myself to an Electric recliner for the recoup period and that has made things sooooo much easier. Now I just have to manage the fluids, doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to sip 64 oz. Does SF jello count as fluid? Finding anything appealing to eat is tough too, but I'm sure I will get into a routine. Any advise, I am finally excited about this new journey and want things to go well-thanks to all

Judy Jello does count as fluid so do SF ice pops! You are finding as I did..things get better every day..so hang in there. Make sure you get your protein in..that is important. I do not think you are expected to get 64 oz of fluid in right away. I think it took me 2 or 3 months. Good luck to you! Joanie

Welcome Home and speedy recovery! xoxo, Phyllis

Congratulations Judy!!! Getting in that much liquid at this stage is very hard. SF jello counts and the SF ice pops are heaven and also count. Just do the best you can. You will find that you will feel better and better every day. You have a wonderful new life to look forward to. Make sure you are walking a lot and constantly sipping some liquid. Please keep us posted on your success, Maggie
