I have had the absolute hardest couple of days. It started off with feeling nauseous every time I ate. I have probably had a total of 20-25 grams of protein since my 2 week post op visit. My doctor only wants me to eat 3 meals a day. No snacks & no grazing. I already suffer with migraines but I am usually able to manage them. This is day #4 with a migraine. My husband gave me one of his migraine pills and it was gone within 30 minutes. However, during those 4 days, I struggled with being able to get any fluids in. I'm going to guess 20 ounces a day. I had to drive my husband to the doctor yesterday. I got in the shower as soon as I woke up. Got dressed, got the kids off to school and ran my errands for the day. I've noticed that I've been burning more calories in a day than I can consume and its causing me extreme dizziness. My surgeons office called to see how I was doing so I told them everything that was going on. They wanted me to go to my primary care for blood work & to check my BP but I actually just went 2 days before that and he already knew about my dizziness. Waiting on the results to come back but in the meantime, trying to get back to drinking fluids & feeling better. Yes, this is a rough process but I wouldn't trade it for the world! I have absolutely no regrets!
