Drank too much

[chickenlittle 0]

I had not eaten much and then slept, when I woke I was felling kinda loopy and light headed yesterday. I drank a full protien drink 11 oz still felt woozy so I drank another half. have I done something very wrong I am on day 5 post op. I just read on another site that we are not supposed to even drink anything but clear liq until day 7. Should I be concerned?

I was only on Clear Liquids 2 days post op as per doctors orders. Then I was on liquids for 7 days. Everyone's doc is different.

I was drinking Protein Shakes in Surgery Center, however only 2 oz at a time for the first few weeks.

My doctors orders were as long as it can pass through a strainer you are OK. So I drank mostly muscle milk and things like it for the 3 weeks as directed. I am sure you will be fine.

Probably not - I was released from the hospital on full liquids which includes Protein shakes...

BUT

...what you are allowed to have when is ALWAYS dictated by your surgeon. He has the final word on your care.

I felt lightheaded and actually used the word loopy in describing how I felt to my doctor at my 1 wk appt. It got better with each passing day and I felt A LOT better by the end of week two.

In my opinion it is best to follow your surgeons advice on what to eat and drink and how much.

Lightheaded? maybe you need to drink water...

I would be more concerned that you do not know what your doc requires and only getting info from internet sites. CALL "YOUR" DOC.

Boy everyone's program IS SO different! I was on pureed food as soon as released from hospital, but only do one pureed meal a day (rest with shakes, etc.
