Day 3 Post Op...Ouch

[prettynikki71 2]

Hi Joan, Popsicles will be your lifesaver. I'm now going on my 7th day post op and still can only consume 1 oz an hour. chicken broth and bouillon cubes have started to make me gag. I use slim fast as part of my Protein because I haven't found one that I like, my support group at work told me about premier shakes, I think I will try those next. Hang in there it will get better.

Wow. I feel like a glutton. Perhaps I was high on pain meds but i thought teh nutritionist told me 1oz every 10 minutes. I have been aiming for that and come damn ner close. I am not sure I better check with my surgeon. If that's wrong then no wonder I am feeling so full all the time/

Iam 3 weeks post op and it gets way. Saturday I felt like a million bucks the best in years. So hang in there good days a head

As for gas pains I used the gas x strips and they worked wonders for me. Everybody's different

I was supposed to consume 1 oz every 10 mins as well. I was real lucky everything went smooth by 4 th day I was drinking 8oz every 1/2 hour. Make sure what ever you do get your fluids in. It keeps you hydrated and the more you urninate the better off you will be .from what I was reading the fat break down and you ex spell them when peeing.

Iam no expert but I got a lot of info of this site and thru the Internet .

Good luck to you guys if I can be any help pm me. I like talking about it.

lburtie4,,, your nutritionist was right 1oz every 10 min, although mines is 1 oz every 15 min total of 4 oz in an hour. I can only consume 1 oz that hour because I feel so full.
