"There is a diet I did that worked and I lost a lot of weight! That is all you have to do!" ---They gained back all the weight the "lost" on that diet after they stopped.

Hey there, So I am officially a week post op and I have noticed I am not drinking ANYWHERE near the amount of fluids I should be intaking. The first few days I was able to at least get down one Protein shake a day, maybe 16oz of Water and 4oz of Soup. As of the last 3 days I have barley gotten down 3 full water bottles in those days all together-maybe a few sips of Protein Drink and soup. All my Protein shakes that I liked at first I can't stand anymore--to sweet, so I am trying the flavorless but I still have to mix it with something. My real qualm is it still really hurts if I don't teeny tiny sip (Like not even enough to wet my mouth--then I am full for the next 4 hours). I guess I am wondering if at this point post op is it normal to still be having trouble getting liquids in and still having pain if I take a smaller sips. I go for my post op appointment on Nov 3, and I have so far lost 13lbs, but I am worried that I am getting dehydrated or not healing right (Over worked brain, I just worry a lot). Did anyone else have an experience like this? Any tips or tricks? Thank you so much!
