My surgery is today. Feeling scared, but also determined.

Hi everyone, update as requested:

It's been a little rocky so far. Days and days of nausea in the hospital. Then after being discharged I've dealt with diarrhea and agonizing gas pains. Dairy/dairy-based Protein Shakes seem to be the culprit, so it's likely that I'm lactose intolerant now.

Being sick has led to me not getting much Protein in & I'm struggling with fluids because my stomach is sensitive to so much. I had to get two bags to IV fluids today to combat dehydration. Feeling a little frustrated and sad about how my recovery has progressed so far. I have a good support system though family and friends but I've still felt a bit lonely and isolated through all these struggles.

Sorry your having a hard recovery. That really sucks. The Protein waters are great suggestion, I personally use Protein2O which are great. A lot of people suggest different temperature beverages. Hope this doesn't last long for you. Good luck!!!!
