Karen, I am only 16 days post-op, but my first week was horrid...I cried and cried, I was sooo thirsty and could only sip my water...I wanted to gulp thos 4 oz and 4 more ozs...but it does get better. Trust me...Just stick to your guns and realize that you made a decision, it may not seem like the right decision right now...but IT IS...Keep in mind the reasons you chose to have this surgery...Anway, Wishing you all the best... :)
