nursemissy 42 Posted May 18, 2013 I get to go home this morning. I will be able to rest a lot better. My surgeon says I will have to be sipping all day to get the adequate hydration in order to not dehydrated. It's tough for me to get the liquids down. Which is why I was here 3 night's. I guess my best friend will be my cup for a while. He says it will get easier. Is it tough for everyone else to get liquids in? Surgery date: May 14' date=' 2013[/quote'] My pouch likes cold cold fluids only. Some like warm only. I felt bloated and thought/ think good lord theres no room for fluids. Just stay hydrated. It gets easier. Welcome to the losers bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatnomore2013 2 Posted May 18, 2013 Got home today' date=' was in for 3¹/² days, low oxygen levels and a fever kept me in. For pain I had morphine pump and liquid Oxy. They let me keep my pump until this morning, and sent me home with the liquid. Also got a prescription for nausea patch that goes behind my ear if needed. Gas has been my enemy because I can't pass any. Sipping on nectar Protein, when mixed with Water tastes like lemon tea, it contains 23g of protein per scoop. When I get more strength I'm gonna try some of the recipes they have me. Surgery date May 14th 2013[/quote'] Gas was my enemy too - big time - fely like I was dying with pain - was advised alpine tea and have not had a problem since Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LillyRose76 1 Posted May 18, 2013 how do you make Protein Jello? I add unflavored Protein Powder to the cold Water portion of the recipe on the box. I put it in a shaker so it mixes well, then add the hot water and Gelatin. Put the mixture in pre chilled containers and refrigerate. 1 nagrin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
