Day 4-feeling sick?

[meggieo79 3]

I have felt pretty good and yesterday was able to get my Protein and Fluid requirements in. I woke up today and feel weak, shaky and just unwell? No fever and no worse pain? Almost feels like when you have a GI bug and that feeling? Anyone have this? Recommendations? Thx!

weak and a bit "just unwell" yes, but I didn't feel shaky. have you ate this morning?

[meggieo79 3]

I just had my Protein Shake and now onto the G2 drink. So weird cuz I was feeling fine-hoping this is a fluke. When did you start feeling "good"

How much shake and how long to drink it

[meggieo79 3]

I am doing 4oz of shake every hour and alternating w 4oz of low cal Gatorade and keep doing that back n forth. They gave us a tentative schedule to follow. I got 60g of Protein in yest and 62oz of Fluid yest. Maybe I'll try to up my protein today??

Does it take the full hour to consume. I was told the same thing. Today i added crrsm of wheat but could only do a few bites cuz in not sure how much im supposed to have...

I'm day nine.

[meggieo79 3]

No it actually doesn't take that long typically half hour to sip. Ugh I can't have anything for another 2 weeks just the shakes and cl liq. I guess if I'm doing well at the 2 week mark I can add yogurt. How are you feeling overall? Hoping this gets better fast!

If you're diabetic, do you still take your medicine? What is your glucose level? If the blood sugar gets too low that can make you feel sick too. Also are you taking a Multivitamin? Your Iron may be low as well. I'm also post-op day 4

[meggieo79 3]

No I'm not diabetic but maybe my blood sugar dropped a bit? How are you feeling day 4? What's your activity level and pain?

You know I just took my Vitamins for the first time today so maybe that is it?

[littlebuddy213 20]

Today, I'm feeling kinda blah. I just drank a Protein Shake and am feeling full.

Still some tenderness at the incision sites, I am going to start walking the neighborhood today. I haven't really been going places, doing some light housework.

You just had major surgery. Youre going to have off days. In my experience with the several surgeries I've had, days 3 and 4 seem the worse. I've heard it has something to do with the anesthesia finally leaving your body.

Make sure you're staying hydrated. That is most important right now. People don't end up back in the hospital due to lack of protien, but lack of fluids.

[meggieo79 3]

Thank you! I appreciate your replies! I felt better and just got up again and feel weak so I am going to concentrate on fluids like you said! It's just a weird feeling! Hoping it passes soon-I am such a worry wort it is awful!!!

Not feeling great today. I lnow i need to drink more... I am not sure how much stuff i can add. Like oz... And how many times a day. I am not doing great today.

So the lack of energy and the overall blah feeling, is that normal? I don't have the energy to do anything. It really sucks!
