I'm Home!
I was told I would only be in there a day. I left the hospital at 11:00 this morning. I just dont think I am drinking enough fluids and protein. Since 8:30 this morning I have eaten 3 oz vanilla pudding, 3 oz chicken broth, 3 oz cottage cheese, and I have drank only about 12 oz of water and about 3 oz propel. I am going to make a protein shake with unjury powder and milk. If I make a 6 oz glass of milk, how long should it take me to drink it?
I was gave these medicine lookin cups and would drink about 4oz every half our. It is so over whelming at first but as the days go on you will get it in. And watch the milk it might make you dump. I couldnt drink nothing but carbcountdown milk from walmart. And protein was the last thing i worried about. At 2 weeks is when i started my protein and it was a protein shake that i would sip on. I was wondering if your doctor gave you the print out sheets on what you need to be doing when you came home? Every doc is different. I just had to learn sorda by trial and error. Just keep on being strong and you will get through...................take care.
