Day 3 of post op and I am a hot mess!

Quite sure this is normal and hopefully not too much information. I am three days out and overall I do feel pretty good. But i still feel like there is a giant lump in the middle of my throat (not like I have to throw up although at some times it feels that way), had diarrhea this am and the site where the port is certainly hurts the most and overall I am just achy. Again, I am quite sure this is normal and have seen posts where people are far worse then I am, but never hurts to check. My dr pretty much has me on zero Protein for week 1 is that normal too?

sounds normal to me..just keep sipping and resting and focus on staying hydrated...just conintue to do what your dr advised and you will do well.

All doctors are different. Both my doc and nutritionist had me on a minimum of 2 Protein Shakes per day since the day after surgery. Just do whatever he tells you.
