Couple Q's I need answers to?

1) Has anyone suffered from a Plugged up Ear after Surgery? I had Surgery on Tuesday, came home yesterday and on the way home my Left Ear Plugged up. I've tried almost everything to Un-plug it. Sudafed, Ear Wax Cleaner, Popping my jaw, holding my nose and blowing, but it won't un-plug, starting to go {{{crazy}}}!!!

2) I was told I'm suppose to consume a Gallon of Water a day! How is this even near possible? I'm having a hard time downing two 20oz bottles, and half of that comes back up when I Burp, is this normal?

Thanks For Your :help:

Rocko~~

I haven't heard of this, its new to me so I can't help you.

You are drinking plenty of Water. Just try and sip all day and get to 64 oz. 1 gallon is ridiculous. When you burp and it comes back up the is PB, productive burping. If you eat too it is like vomitting but now its just water. You are drinking too much too fast. Hope this helps. Congrats on being banded. Julie:clap2:
