Hi Vickie, I had my surgery 10/17/05. I feel great but I too can not get 64oz of water down. I have problems with cold stuff so I sip on decaf tea all day. I also can only eat about 4 bites and I'm done. It doesn't matter how slow I eat those 4 bites that is about it. Soup is better, I can eat a cup of soup. My doctor says this is normal and over time it gets better. I can not eat any meat yet. I get my protein in with unjury and yogurt. I eat cottage cheese and peaches but I am never hungry. Its an all day job to get my protein in. Hang in there sounds like you are doing fine.
