you are only two days post op - what you are feeling is completely normal!! Don't worry - it gets better.

I couldn't hit my Fluid goals until about 5 days post op.

The important thing is to keep taking tiny sips - I literally would sip all day from when i got up at 6:30am until i went to bed at midnight just trying to get enough fluids in. Suddenly day five it was a lot easier and I went from barely getting in 40oz to easily getting 56oz, then a couple days later the full 64oz. and then after another week or so, while i did still sip all day - it didn't take anywhere near midnight to get it all in!

Keep sipping and each day try to get an ounce or two more than the day before. Right now, your biggest danger is dehydration from not getting enough fluids - and you do NOT want that, it will land you back in the hospital. You are in the most difficult part right now - just keep powering through it.

I'm having a similar problem. I've found chewing ice helps.

How fast did you think it would be? You are 3 days post op! [emoji3] I know what you mean though. Just be patient. The time will fly and you'll feel better every day. Your body has just been through a major surgery and needs time to heal. Just cause you can't see the scars/swelling, doesn't mean it isn't there.
