6 Days Post Op - Calories

[WPBFoodie 31]

Hi, I'm 6 days post op. Trying to eat those 3 meals a day, but barely able to hit 100 calories a day up to 32 oz Water daily. Still very bloated and achy from surgery. Is there such thing as too few calories at this point? Adding Protein Powder where I can.

Hey there. I'm 8 days post op. During those first few days, I didn't hit my 64 Oz water/fluid or Protein goals. I just did the best I could. I also felt very achy and really just wanted to sleep. ???? ???? ???? take it slow and listen to ur body...sucking on ice chips and warm broth helped me feel a little more "alive" too...right now, I wouldn't worry too much about calories as much...water/fluids are probably most important. feel free to check with your nutritionist too!! Also, things do start getting better!!! I promise. I didn't think they would...many nights with tears...but it does get better.

You are very early on. work on your fluids and rest as much as you can or want. Don't worry too much about getting everything in, you'd be surprised how it will all fall into place, in time. Each day, it gets easier!!

Hope you feel better soon

Thank you both. I work from home, so by the end of the day pretty exhausted. Will focus on staying hydrated.
