It doesn't want me to drink or eat! It only wants me to take a little of water about once an hour! My surgery was on the 14th n I've lose 15 lbs in 5 days. I'm happy with the weight lose but I also want to be healthy! Feeling down but tomorrows another day. Just had to vent!

If you are drinking that little, you are going to be dehydrated very quickly and end up in the ER. Please conta t your surgeons's office.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

If you're having difficulty getting water down you need to contact your doctor asap. I had surgery on the 8th and I keep a bottle in front of me at all times to sip sip sip because I fear I'll forget and end up dehydrated.

Never accept NO for an answer.

I would definitely call. I had surgery the same day as you. I've been able to get down 3 protein shakes down a day and around 60 oz of green tea or water a day. Just by spacing it out through our the day.

I also had surgery on the 14th and am lucky if I am getting in around half of recommended fluids. I only manage half of a protein shake a day. I have also had a bought of feeling down. I also have a call into my doc. Take good care.
