Three Days Post Op

[The Fainting Bee 2]

Hi All. I'm a three days post op and feeling pretty good. Have had so much trouble taking in enough Water and Protein. I am barely taking in half of my required amounts because there is just no room! How do you all do it?

Hey! Congratulations! You're probably still a bit swollen from surgery, so it will get easier. Quite frankly, things will change a lot before you achieve your new "normal." At least they did for me. Before long it will all feel like it's always been a part of you. Just follow your doctors orders to the letter, and realize that your success depends on you and you'll do great. Best of luck with it!

My surgeon told me to work up to getting the 6-8 glasses of Water and 60 grams of Protein. You are still very swollen after surgery so you have to build up to it. Do as much as you can and gradually build it up each day. Congratulations!!

Thanks for the advice and support. Looking forward to my new life!

just continue to sip sip sip and still sip some more

once the healing is progressing more, you will be able to get more down

just focus on your Protein as that is what feeds your body

all the best and hang in there, it will get easier, i promise...
