Sarahboy13 49 Posted April 19, 2013 you probably aren't getting enough Water. try to get in as much as possible(and I know it is not easy) Also, my doctor had me on sugar free carnation instant Breakfast mixed with skim milk, that was my saving grace, took me all day to drink one, but it helped me feel better. Good Luck, it does get better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiggleLiggle 84 Posted April 19, 2013 It took me a total of 4 weeks to really start feeling like myself again. I still have to pay attention to my body because when it tells me I need to rest, it means NOW Give yourself time and be kind to yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarahboy13 49 Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks, how long after surgery did you have that instant breakfast? Sent from my iPhone using VST part of leaving the hospital was I had to keep down 2 oz of this, so I was able to have it 2 days after surgery. You should be fine. Just check around the stores before you go, a lot of them don't carry the sugar free kind. Really hope you start to feel better, the first week was pretty tough for me and once I was allowed purees I think that was my turning point. Hang in there.
