Feeling Malnurished
Also keep an eye on the shortness of breath. I ended up in emerg a few times about 1½ weeks post op due to extreme shortness of breath. I think it may have had something to do with dehydration - so like the others said, constantly sip. I had also put Unjury's unflavored protein powder in just about everything - soups, juice, etc.... Just think in a few weeks' time when you can eat some solid-ish food, you won't even remember this "pain" and how frustrating it is!
I just hate feeling "not myself." I'm usually so upbeat and this heartburn and lethargy sucks. I'm exactly 2 weeks post-op today and I know I can do this for one more week, and then I look forward to forgetting about it. :)
