I had a high number of eggs retrieved and a high estriodol level and now am reaping the benefits... I feel so full I can barely eat or move! Any tips besides gatorade?

Thanks so much....

Kim

I had the same thing! My stomach grew 6 inches over 2 days! LOTS AND LOTS of fluid! Especially water! I had to keep track of my fluid intake and output, and my highest day was 87 oz in, 114 oz. out. Good luck!

I remember feeling like when I rolled over, or when my DH moved in bed that I had a water bed in my stomach. ughh. I am really feeling for you...

Limit your gatorade and add more water. Also low sodium. I was told that gatorade has too much sodium.

Make sure you stay away from sodium and add lots and lots of protein. Try protein shakes if possible.
