Getting enough water

[happymama2014 206]

Almost ready for surgery, still lots of concerns...one of the biggest is Water. How will I get in enough water? I drink alot of water and Im so scared I will not be able to get enough in. I have only been constipated once, after child birth and it was horrible and painful. The nutritionist said MOST people do suffer from Constipation after surgery. Just wondering how much water people are really getting in and have you had any negative side effects?

You will get your Water in , it is not that hard as long as your drinking water, Protein Drinks pop sickles and crystal light you will be fine .

When you get home from the hospital, set a timer on your phone if you have to so you can have a reminder to sip. For the first few nights, I woke up in the night to drink as well. It gets much easier after the first few weeks after the swelling goes down.

I only had trouble the first week or so with liquid. Now I feel now restriction when I drink, and I can even gulp. I have no trouble drinking 2-3 liters a day.
