5 Days Post Op

[megpie22 13]

Hooray 5 days post-op feeling so much better. Off pain medications. So I don't know if this is normal? I have only been getting 1-20z of liquid every hour? That is all I can get in? Is that too little? If more than that I feel a pressure in my chest the next hour and I can't do the next hour. Sorry I am a newbie to the post-op side and I have been reading so many different things on what you should be able to intake including my handouts. Thanks for the help.

2oz it was supposed to say.

After surgery, your body is in a major heal mode. It is common for individuals to not meet their daily Fluid requirements during the first couple weeks after surgery. Just keep trying and you should eventually be able to get there.

Hey! I am 2 weeks post op and just now starting to drink a little better. At my 5th day I was also feeling better but had so many questions on my feelings I am still just wondering many more lol. It's so crazy how we can just feel everything going right though out body in the beginning. Even that little flutter feeling as we try to sip.
