A southern woman with a sense of humor. Sarcasm is just one of the languages I speak, lol. I am 51 and love music and movies. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. No kids.
Post-op day 4, things are finally beginning to settle down. It is a different feeling for sure but I am finally getting used to it. Day 3 was when I was finally able to get a decent amount of fluids in, things are looking up!
I have struggled as well...at 40 ounces a day and climbing...really have to push fluids. I think the swelling of the surgery makes it difficult at first. I spoke to my NUT yesterday and she said its normal and to keep pushing.
Peaches...I only wanted to drink water right after the surgery. Everyone told me not to use a straw, but I find I can get more liquids down with the straw. It does not seem to gas me up, thankfully! Keep a cup of water close and sip during commercials.
