I'm day six out of my operation and the first two/three days I was home was able to drink all my water and shakes now I'm having hard time just doing water. This scares me as I am on heart meds and mental meds and I am not able to take them like I need to. I already notice I cry more and feeling down and heart racing. Does anyone have any tips or advice on something I can try?

I drink only cold water and had warm water for the soup protein powder. I will try it just a bit hotter and see how it goes. I wanna thank you all for responding. I don't feel so alone.

I tried water with crystal light/mio and just plain water. I was doing the unjury chicken broth so I can get protein but that isn't working either. I did a sip of juice and was nice cause of the difference but got full off that sip. I've used carnation instant breakfast/ensure and boost. I can't do the tea unless I find a decaf one cause caffeine makes my heart beat faster and they limit you on that also to one 8oz cup a day and only 4oz of 100% juice. I just feel full all the time. I haven't been released to drive yet so at the mercy of others if I need something opposite of the grocery list of things I bought prior.

Hi Quita. If I am seeing the picture right I was in class with you when they were making us sip out of 1 oz cups. I was in the back. I had my surgery on the 19th and I know yours will go really well. I will pray for you.

Four days out and having trouble drinking the protein shakes they are really sweet and the taste just sickens me. I sipped what I could of them and sipped protein shot to hoping to compensate.

I had surgery on the 19th and they pulled the drain out two days later. It does sting and give you a little jolt but it is momentary and will pass. But trust me your gonna be glad they pulled it out cause that was the main source of my pain. Take some deep breaths and close your eyes and lay back and relax. You don't wanna be tense. I wish I could hold your hand and help you but know your in my prayers.
