POD #2..feelin a little rough

[AAlley11 15]

I'm attempting to get a whole Protein Drink in today..my goal is to get 3 in a day which would be my 90g of Protein, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Sipping on Water and G2 when I'm awake. Pretty painful so taking my meds every 3-4 hours makes me pretty sleepy. Don't even wanna try taking all my meds blah. Trying to stay optimistic though that this will all get better every day

AAlley11,

It will get better. I don't know when your surgery was but it takes about a week to start feeling like it was all worth it. Also, I never took narcotics after my surgery only Tordal, I believe that makes a huge difference. If you can get by without narcotics, try to it's better for you. Try to walk even if you don't want to, it helps..... I am a week out and I felt like dancing this afternoon... Hang in there.

hang in there, it does get easier! i went home from hosp on post op day 2 and i was feeling ok. got all my liquids/protein in but only because i literally sipped ALL day.

today i am 12 days out and actually had Breakfast (big Protein shake and milke), snack, lunch (cream soup), several bottles of flavored Water, and now up to dinner (cream Soup again). later i will have my othr big shake and milk and will have met all my dailies. i am finding that i have ZERO hunger or desire to eat at all.
