Joiebean 53 Posted February 19, 2012 I'm so frustrated today. I can't get anything down today except liquids. I tried the tiniest bit of soft food and it hurts. Trying a shake now and its sorta okay, but still a little sore. Not sure if this is normal. I know that the amount you can eat and what your stomach likes differs...but I haven't had a day where I just CAN"T get anything down. Any advice besides staying hydrated (which I'm trying to do.) Oh and yesterday I ate rice for the first time. Not a lot, just a few tiny little bites. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. And I've been super constipated too and took ducolax this morning. Went appliance shopping yesterday and almost passed out in the middle of Lowe's. Not sure what's going on.

MegInNOLA 531 Posted February 19, 2012 Hey y'all: Hang in there! At this point, just focus on getting in Fluid. I sipped Gatorade many a day to stay hydrated (and I didn't worry about the sugar, as I watered it down and put ice in it). Just do what you need to do to stay hydrated and let your body heal. It really does get better and easier to eat as you go--no need to rush it. Feels like you should be "doing something," but don't push your body. If it hurts to eat, focus on sipping and rest as much as you can. Hugs to both of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldenraisin214 142 Posted February 19, 2012 Sometimes sipping warm drinks is a little easier (tea, broth, etc). I hope you get to feeling better soon! *hugs* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
