5 days post-op...yikes!

Hi! New gal in town and 5 days post-operative.  Doing ok but still a little overwhelmed. Having what is certainly normal problem with getting enough water etc in. Just looking for a little help and reassurance I guess. Thanks much. Chefio

While I watched TV as I recovered I watched the clock on the cable box and took a sip every 5 minutes, then every 3 minutes...try it. You have to make a conscious effort to drink.  I also had a few sugar free ice pops per day, they count towards your liquid intake.

It will get easier 

Protein drinks (shakes) are a double bonus - you get the protein you need plus the liquid intake as well.
