If it hurts very badly call the on-call surgeon....they are the only ones who can help

I drank out of dixie cups to begin with. 3 oz of liquid. I would look at the clock and try to sip a tiny bit every minute or two until I finished 3 oz in 15 minutes. I didn't have trouble with liquids but some do!

i'm also constipated 7days now.. thanks lady

 part of the game.lol

I'm 2 weeks out and since I've had my surgery I sip all day long.  I take a cup with me to bed and if I wake up in the night to use the bathroom, I sip some more.  I sip when I first wake up.  I take a cup with me in the car and sip while I drive.  I make sure I have a water bottle with me and sip wherever I am.  You will literally be drinking every minute of the day.  And make sure you're taking very small sips.. like barely wetting your whistle.

I will say it took me a good 6 weeks to get up to speed with my liquids.  i just sipped when I was ready.  Just as long as you keep sipping you will be OK.  As long as you don't dehydrated, you will be fine.  It could also be gasssssssssss.  I still have it.  If you feel that bad call the Dr.  That's what he/she is there for.  Hang in there.  It will get better i promise

Add some unflavored Miralax to your Crystal Light (or whatever beverage you're drinking).  It helped a lot with my constipation issues..

I had trouble drinking plain water of any temperature for a while. I drank water with Mio, powerade zero, skim milk and broth.

See if the problem is related to the temperature of the fluids you are drinking. I couldn't drink cold water for almost 4 months after surgery. It was too painful on my stomach.
