Keep drinking the water, broth and walk. I had my surgery on the 10th of may and I thought I was doing good and on the 14th was in the ER for dehydration, I felt like I had a brick on my chest. But they said I was not drinking enough, after spending 24 hours in the hospital I am feeling so much better. But also use sugar free popsicles they became my life line. Keep your head up it does get better.
