Protein Drink has a lot of nutrients that will help, gartor aid I heard works well. I find hot Water is easier to go down. Do you have chewable vituims? be sure to have them daily. This is the tough time but it will get better. get your rest as much as possible your body is recovering it might just be its way to say take a nap.

You just had major surgery, give yourself a chance to recover. As you are able to eat more your energy will come back.

the port..it was cut/sewn into your muscle, so its gonna hurt/be tender

Sounds like you are doing everything right, it took me 2 weeks to get my strength back to what I considered normal.

As was said, you have had major surgery, take care of yourself. My son-in-law had his surgery on friday. He is walking and drinking lots of broth, e tc. I know the lack of chewing gets boring, but its only for a little while. Best wishes on your recovery.Karen
