Almost 3 wks Post Op HELP
Hello everyone out there in TT world... I need so help. My situation is that I first need to know how much protein should I be getting in on any given day. Currently I take in about 42 at the absolutely lowest and normally around 64... but is this enough? I'm constantly tired and feel like I should be feeling a lot better then I am. I'm still in a lot of pain due to the stupind hernia repair.. it really did a number on me.. but I'm working through that. I drink water only, and some times a few glasses of milk with my calicum chew. I don't go back to the doc's until the 14th so I figured I'd ask you guys.. the real live experts. I knew I was in for the long haul when I decided on this surgery.. but I just want to feel somewhat healthy after 3 weeks. I have three lil girls who need their mommy and I feel like everytime they need me.. I need to rest.. so any advice you can offer up would be greatly appreciated!

I can't wait to have my life back, I know it's going to be a long haul, but I know when I'm able to play with my girls, not be in pain anymore, and my husband is able to wrap both arms around me and pick me up that it will all be worth it!
