I am exactly one week post-op today!!! Yay!!! But I am still having that feeling. It makes it very hard to keep things down and also its hard to encourage myself to drink because of the pain. But warm liquids are definitely better. Sipping some warm herbal tea has helped. Good luck. I hope you feel better

So, I'm 5 days post-op and I am so tired still. I have to drag myself to get up and walk. I'm constantly having tightness and pain in my chest. I'm having a hard time drinking my fluids because its so painful and I have no desire to drink anything. I'm getting in my 64oz but I'm forcing myself. Good news is I am not hungry so I don't miss anything. But I feel so ill. Even the smallest amount of Water or Protein shake makes me want to puke. And I have zero energy. Is this normal??? 9 pounds down since surgery

Thanks. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I am taking anti nausea. But it doesn't help with the pain. I guess I'll have to take it one day at a time. I just feel like I'm not following all the rules. My being so tired has effected my walking.

I didn't need much at all. But besides toiletries, I recommend your own pillow, lip balm, a hair scrunchie, some slippers and a robe and my husband surprised me with my favorite blanket. This definitely helped. And if your spouse is staying over night with you, some slippers for them too. When I couldn't sleep, I would walk and my husband would get up, slip on his slippers and walk with me.
