@@Chanlissa - Thanks so much for your feedback. I'm going to make sure I drink until I float tomorrow. I also had a splenic infarct (sp?) from the surgery so I'm still a bit swollen and not quite up to speed yet. Has anyone else had their spleen be an issue?

My surgery was 3/31, but I've hit a stall too. I am having trouble getting in all of my fluids though, which apparently will help a great deal. Is anyone else having trouble with this? I only drink water, decaf tea and protein shakes. I haven't had anything with sugar since 3/11. I even avoided Easter candy!! I, too, am hoping I didn't go through all of this for nothing.

I am a new member and a new "sleever". My surgery was on 03/31/14. I was released home a few days later. So far, I have had very little luck in getting enough water and/or protein supplements in. Yesterday I only got about 4 oz of protein shake in all day. Throughout the day I did try to drink water too, and probably got in about 12 ounces. Today was slightly better with about 6 oz of protein shake. I just want to know if this is normal. I really feel like my stomach is so full that I can't possible put any more into it. My brother had the same procedure one week prior to me and is doing great. If he had these issues, he is not sharing them. I am on a full liquid diet until next week. Advice, please?
