Hello everyone,
Boy am I glad I found out about this site. What a tool and I'm loving the support everyone has for each other!
I'm writing about an issue I'm experiencing. I need advice, tips and anything else you may have to offer.
I'm a week Post Op today. I stayed in the hospital a day longer than normal because I was in-taking very few liquids. I couldn't stomach it. The only thing I seemed to stomach was the low calorie sherbet they gave me. I went home 3 days after. I still can't stomach much. I can barely get Water down comfortably, without what seems to be air pockets (almost like a hiccup) but it's painful. I haven't been sipping through a straw, I have been going slow, have been taking tiny small amounts, so I don't know if it's something I'm doing. I'm about driving my family nuts because I can't stomach anything and the only thing at home I can seem to handle is cut up sugar free popsicles. My family is worried about me being dehydrated, I've got some symptoms that point to that. As I'm trying to avoid going back to the hospital, but will if need be. It's getting better day by day, I just didn't know if anyone had experienced the same thing or had any advice on what it is and what I should do.
Thanks!
