5 days since surgeries

[ProudGrammie]

Weill I'm home. been an interesting few days. I can not keep the nausea at bay, cannot get all my fluids in and have been told to stop my protein intake until I can. I feel like I have a football sized "knot" that constantly grumbles where my stomach used to be. I often wake up with wonderful spurts of energy that last for all of two minutes before I am once again on my way to sawing logs. Back to bed I go..

Hi Grammie,
Glad you are home and got through it ok. Sorry your not feeling the best. Hopefully you will start to feel better soon and get your fluids in. Hopefully you will gain your strenght back and not have to sleep so much. Looks like you have had a good weight loss so you go grammie! Feel better, Michele

Grammie-Just keep sipping those fluids slowly but constantly. Part of your nausea is probably being caused from lack of fluids so the sooner you can get in at least 48 ounces a day the better for you. Keep a beverage that you like with you at all times and sip, sip, sip, all day long. Your energy is being used by your body to heal from surgery and because you are not getting many calories there is no energy to spare. Plus, ypu are losing weight so that just adds to the energy drain. This is all perfectly normal. Once you start getting your protein in you should feel slightly better but it could take 2 or 3 months to feel like yourself again, only better

It took me 3 months to not feel exhausted and by the 4th month I had energy to spare.

Hi Grammie, keep taking naps as you need them, and like Pat said keep sipping water, it will help you heal as well as take away some of the nausea, remember sip slowly. Tom
