4 days Post op...

and feeling like i'm doing something wrong. I only drink water, juice, broth and I go for walks regularly but I feel like I am missing something. Did anyone else feel like this right after surgery or is it just me. Also for those that are already post op any advice of what else I should be doing?  Thanks in advance :)

I also had surgery monday morning and even though Im doing what im supposed to I still feel a lack of energy sometimes. Make sure you are taking your vaitamins and hang in there. I believe our bodies are just transitioning at this point and most importantly healing. You should be having your proetins supplement shakes per my nutriionist at leats 3 times a day 8 ounces. then the snacks of crystal light or broth in between your meals. are you drinking unjury??

That sounds about right for 4 days out! Are you drinking your protein shakes? Protein, water, vitamins and walking, that's pretty much it for the first few weeks. I took a lot of naps too, I got very tired, very quickly.

I am 3 1/2 weeks out and yeah you will be tired for another couple days. It gets better though. I didn't believe it would when I was in my first week but it does. I found that having people around me to talk to and go places with was really helpful. You are on the right track though. In a couple days you will be feeling better.

Thanks girls! yeah I just feel like i'm not doing everything but.. I guess I am ??  Just takes a bit to get use to i guess! 

No Unjury for me.. it makes me wanna puke.. i'm using Herbalife.  it tastes phenominal.. atleast in my opinion. Thanks again girls! :)

I am 5 days out and still have to have a couple of hours to nap during the day!  My family tells me that's just my body after major surgery and getting used to eating so little.  My DR allows me to have pureed foods already, but it's extremely hard to get any food in at all.  Just keep walking, drinking and napping (and don't forget your vitamins) .. !! =)
