Day 2 -- post-op at home
try some chicken flavored protein drink instead of broth or ad protein powder to broth( best let someone else mix it some can't stand the smell of it till its mixed
I swear we must be the same... sounds like my day and life. I wouldn't say that I have gas pain- but my tummy rumbles. I went to my oldest's last soccer game and then went shopping with my main man for a bit- we have a fancy wedding to attend Dec. 8 and trying to find something to wear for both of us is fun. I'm holding off though. Congrats for doing so well today!!!
I was sleeved on 11/12. I'm impressed with all of you who have already hit the stores! I have a bit of cabin fever so today for my first foray out of the home I am going to go to the movies - no popcorn or candy of course! Lol.
On Friday and Saturday I was able to drink about 85 ounces of fluids - mostly water, tea, a little crystal light, sf Popsicles, and maybe a little cup of sf jello or pudding. I also have broth and a protein shake. Since I know now getting fluids in isn't a problem for me, my goal is to up the protein. I have not had any pain meds since Wednesday - not even a Tylenol. I have been walking around inside the house a lot ( I do laps!) and have started walks around the block.
Last night was the first time I felt hungry and unsatisfied. I'm pretty sure it was just head hunger though. I am pretty sure that's going to be the toughest!
You will do great, keep us posted on your progress. Remember we are here for you!
