HELP......

[Guest guest]

Hi there! You guys have been really supportive and I really appreciate

it. Surgery went well, got home yesterday, I feel run over, but doing

ok for major surgery. I'm just feeling weak and the thought of clear

liquids for another week, I know it's only been three days, makes me a

little nauseated. Broth, jello, water and sugar free gatorade,,,,just

not appealing. I have been mixing the unflavored protein in the broth

so I'm getting some protein. Anyone have ANY suggestions to change

things up a bit for the next week??? At least after this week, I'm on

to full liquids and something with consistency...Also, I'm sore all

over, does tht go away soon? Yes, I'm being a wuss, My husband says my

pain tolerance is very low. I guess I didnt expect to feel so

depleted. Thanks for all your help

I felt the same way after surgery some people are able to go to work

a week after surgery, me I was a big big wuss!!!! You will feel

better in a week. Just force yourself to get out of bed and walk. It

will make you feel better to move around. Also take naps. I took 3-

hour naps everyday my 1st week home. I mean I was dead to the world

naps!!!!

As far as the liquids go. You are just going to have so suck it up so

to speak and do it. Your body needs the protein and fluids. I was on

NASTY HMR protein shakes for 4 whole weeks. It sucked but I followed

the rules and have been successful. TRUST ME I know it is hard. Just

make the decision that you are going to do this and you will drink

and do what you are suppose to do. Next week sounds like it will be a

little easier. PLUS once the weight starts to fall off it will be a

BIG motivator to stick with this. Hang in there the first month will

be the hardest. You will WANT food that you cannot have. LOL that 1st

month food NEVER smelled as good as it did that month. I swear I

could smell a pizza a mile away !!! We are here for you Sweet Pea!!

BIG HUGS!!!!
