Sounds like dehydration. I didn't drink enough Water yesterday and woke up feeling the same way!

I felt like that too. Even though your on liquids, Water, water, water!! I couldnt stand drinking water in the morning until something went down first with flavor. I drank a lot of the kids fruitable box juices. But the meds from surgery can play havoc for a few days too. Dehydration just sucks but get 64 oz of water in daily not including juice. It will get better shortly!!

I had the same issue and was told it could be the residual affects of anesthetia. It went away by drinking lots of liquids and frozen pops helped too.

I had surgery on the 25th and have the same problem. My issue is that I just can't drink that much! It took me 90 minutes to drink 12 oz. of chicken broth last night. Crazy! Told my husband I just wanted to guzzle a big glass of Water, but I know I CAN'T do that! If I take anything bigger then a sip, though, I get that full feeling and can't drink anymore. Even taking my meds in the morning fills me up!

I know I'm only 2 days post-op and his will get better. I was up 6 pounds from the day of to the day after surgery from all the liquids they pumped into me via the IV, so I've got that, but all I want to do is drink a big glass of Water and I can't.

I had my surgery on the 25th too. Physically, I feel better than I anticipated but feeling crummy stomach wise. It took me an hour to get my Protein Shake down this a.m. and there was no way I could get the recommended lunch and dinner one down. I am not nauseous but just an "ucky" feeling. Anyone have experience with this? I feel like even though I barely had anything today that I may have been overdoing it too quickly when I did. I hope this subsides as I have been kind of down feeling crummy and (sorry, Tmi) gassy. Hope this may just be still residual effects from anesthesia. Good luck to everyone!
