I am eight days out from surgery and still cannot drink near enough water. I can get in about 18-24 ounces a day. I drink about 6-8 ounces of protien drink. Today I had about 4 ounces of egg drop soup and about 2 ounces of pinto bean soup.
My lips are chapped and my skin is dry. I have not had a bowel movement since surgery, however, the doctor's office told me not to worry about that since I am doing a liquid diet.???
I do feel much better than I have but do not want to end up back in the hospital for dehydration.
Any and all advice/help is apprecaited.
