Miserable today

I'm just over 3 weeks out.  Today has been a terrible day for me.  I feel lousy.

My side is very sore from the j-tube (not the site, inside, almost like a stitch when you run), I have a headache and my back hurts.

It's been struggle to drink, but I'm forcing myself.  Have only managed one shake today, but I am still sipping (when I'm awake...took a 4 hour nap this afternoon!)

I know tomorrow will be better...just venting today.

 Just hang in there, I think we all have those days when we first start out. Just keep up the fluids, that is the most important thing to do right now.

I hope you feel better tomorrow.

What Inge said.  Please take sips of water, even when you can't stand it.  If you get dehydrated, you'll get nauseous, then want to eat and drink less....... it's a downward spiral.

It WILL get better.  Hang in there.

Susan,
Hope today is a better day for you. I remember, for me, week 3 was the hardest. Hang in there.

The first month or so really sucks for a lot of people. It WILL get better! Keep on sipping and hang in there.
