Fluids

[Gardengirl 66]

I was sleeved on the 26th. My doctors office makes us buy their products for pre and post op. at first that annoyed me but it is making this a lot easier to manage in the long run. I bought core Protein Shakes, chocolate pudding mixes, cream of chicken Soup mix, and hot chocolate mix. They are all formulated with Protein. I have had no trouble getting my Water in bc I always seem to feel thirsty. I have made a routine of sorts so that I get 3-4 protein supplements consumed in addition to just constantly sipping the water. We are also allowed SF Jello and SF Popsicles which are counted towards water consumption. My bottle holds 24 ounces so I'm finishing one in the morning, one before "dinner time" and then another in the evening by bedtime. I take a lot of pills and Vitamins in the am and pm which take FOREVER to swallow but I usually down about half the water bottle by the time I'm done. I also walk about three times a day including a one mile walk so I'm constantly sipping while walking. My docs office said these two or so post op weeks were going to feel like a full time job and I can agree!!! Good luck!! Hope you are feeling better!!!
