Post Op day 6 - appetite

Edit Post

Hello,

I have had my femur surgery last week and it is going well and I am in 0 to very little pain. The only thing is I have hardly eaten a thing since the night before surgery as I have lost my appetite. It is making me feel very ill. Does anyone know any good meal replacement drinks or anything that would help. I am not from the states so I am not sure what brands are good and will help me with the nutrients that I need.

Thank you

Thanks for the response. Going to try all those out. I have my first PT session tomorrow so will need all the energy I can get. Thanks for the recommendations

Ok I will try my best. Thank you very much. I don’t have a diary I may post things every now and then but at the moment I am doing well. No pain and can walk too and from bathroom. My biggest problem is I have bad sores around my bottom and genital area from using the bed ban and not getting out of bed for a few days or washing. Did anyone else have this problem I am quite concerned and do not want it to get infected. I am female

Thanks a lot. Sorry I have just thrown up now too. I am struggling with all side effects other than pain in my legs! Hopefully gets better from now on

Hey!

I am 22. I am 139cm in height so very tiny! And I hope on getting 8cm in Femur and I will come back in 18 months for tibias so I end up around 5ft. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will help as much as possible!
