I’m 11 days post op and confused. I weighed 255 the morning of surgery and today I weigh 254!?! I haven’t been able to tolerate protein powders and have been drinking water and Gatorade Zero with protein. I spent $300 on the hospital’s protein shakes, but after surgery I could only drink maybe one a day. I was having migraines and my IV site was extremely inflamed. Overall, it’s been messy. I talked to the dietitian and got some other protein powders, but still having a hard time. It’s been difficult to get in touch with the clinic and I’m falling apart. (My 2 week post op check is Monday) I’m worried about my nutrition. I’ve tried some foods that I’m not supposed to be eating yet, but I get stomach pain. Weird thing is is that I have more energy than before surgery and more motivated to get things done. I also barely sleep now too?!? What is happening??? Has anyone experienced any of the above?
