Hi this is my first time posting. I also had surgery 2/11. I am down 5 lbs since surgery. 25 total. I have had a lot of pain since surgery. I have seen so many people that have had very little pain. I was hoping to be one of them. I think the hardest thing is that prior to surgery I was never without iced tea. Now I can't even stand the taste of it. I am having so much trouble getting fluids in. I tolerate orange sherbet, potato soup and chicken soup unjury. I'm not big on sweet drinks. Does anyone have any suggestions.
