I'm 6 days post-op

[Kimba Maria Wiggins 81]

It's been a rough 6 days. The first 3 I was so tired, I didn't want to get out of my hospital bed or do anything but sleep. But now I feel much better. I'm able to get in my fluids easy (just need to drink a bit more). Yesterday I got 40 oz of fluids in and today it'll be close to 35 oz. I know that's not a lot but I'm trying my best. My surgeon said that I needed to consume 64oz of fluids a day but there is no way I can do that so soon after surgery. I almost cried when everyone else was enjoying their meals and I couldn't eat a single thing they were cooking. Things will get better, I know it.

I was doing 100 oz 4 days post op with constant sipping. I had a drink in my hand all day and took a sip every 10 seconds or so. It will really help with the tiredness.

I'm 3 weeks post op and get in about 45 oz my surgeon says as long as your drinking you don't want to become dehydrated but not to stress soon enough we will be drinking the needed amount

I'm now getting anywhere for 20oz to 48oz in a 24 hour period. Thankfully I'm not dehydrated.
