Can someone tell me what the reason for liquid diet is post op if there is a required amount of water intake required?

So i was sleeved on sept 9th so i am 3 days post op...the surgery itself went well no complications although i was in recovery 3 hours longer than expected. I came home the next day and was in alot of pain, i could drink anything not even a sip of water, i slept most of the day but did get up periodically to walk around. Thursday morning i woke coughing up blood clots had a headache and blurred vision. I called my dr and he recommended me coe to er...i was there for several hours ended up being dehydrated and having irritation in my throat from the tube. They put iv in and gave me pain meds and fluids did xray and was released couple hours later. That same day i felt horrible and still couldn't drink anything. Today was so much better i was able to drink all 8oz of my protein shake required of me, 2oz chicken broth 2oz crystal light 2oz sugar free jello and a popscicle ???? im still struggling on drinking water throughout the day in between meals but i will get there my pain subsided and was alot more comfortable today. I even took a walk up the block ???? i know everyday will be better than the next!

Sept 9th is my surgery date! I go wed for preop but not sure what to expect...is that when they will start me on a liquid diet?
