Default I have a some questions

Hi All,

My wife and I both have now joinded this side of the forum, April 30th. Her surgery was typical, mine had a few complications landing me in ICU for a number of extra days. With that behind us I had a few Questions:

1) While I feel good, I can sip water, eat yogurt, pudding, soups (cream of) and full liquids. I seem to only eat at the normal times 3 a day, but feel light headed and zapped of energy. SHould I force my self to eat 5-6 times a day, or is 3 OK.

2) Water consumption is defanatly decreased post surgery, I am afraid to drink too much at any single time. Should I let my body tell me if I am drinking too quickley and if so, will it be a bloated feeling or pain?

3) I was so excited about comming back to work today (Boaring desk job) but find myself wishing that I was asleep (no energy thing again). What was your time off and do you regret going back to work.


4) just a quick average of time you started feeling great after surgery.

Thanks all
