Nutrition is what will make the difference in how you feel. Every single day you need to take in a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz of water. If you have been skimping it will catch up with you and dont be shocked if you dont end up hospitalized for malnutrition and dehydration. I know how difficult it is to take in enough when it hurts so bad. Take some pain meds, use magic mouthwash and push yourself to drink ensures or boost, smoothies, milkshakes, etc. I lived on chocolate peanut butter milk shakes which I made myself. They had about 2000 calories each. Drink a couple of those a day and you will feel so much better.

If you arent taking in enough water talk with your doc and get hydrated, the hospital can give you a couple bags of saline. It will make you instantly feel like a new person! Try adding some high protein whey powder to your drinks to help with your healing.

best wishes with your continued recovery!
