Guest guest Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi Everyone, I've been home a few days now and have a couple questions. I did well with the surgery (or so they kept telling me) but have been FREEZING ever since. In the hospital I slept with at least five blankets. When I am sitting here at home I cover up with two. I'm driving my family out because our outdoor temperatures are about 100 degrees and I can't turn on the AC. That's the first thing. Have any of you experienced this? The next thing is that I have very little energy. Duh! All I'm really drinking is water. I threw up and threw up in the hospital and it scared me. Then, when I got home I did it again. I'm TERRIFIED to try other things but know I need some energy or I won't be able to heal well. I have tried chicken broth and get down about an ounce or maybe two. I don't know how much energy that gets me. I also tried apple juice but I think I'm ruined forever on apple juice after they put that blue contrast dye in it and it was so bitter. I got some vitamin water that has a few calories in it. I can tolerate it but it tastes too sweet. I had ordered some protein shots that are clear and tried that yesterday. It stayed down but I only took about one of the three ounces very diluted. I guess I just need some suggestions or a pep talk. Can anyone help me? -Debbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
