I had the surgery Monday came home from the hospital wed and today I still can't drink.I know I have to be dehydrated and I try to sip but it hurts. I think I'm depressed too. All I want to do is lay in the bed I'm so weak

It hurt for me to sip the first few days because my throat hurt from the breathing tube. I sucked down what I could though and eventually I was able to drink more each day.

I felt horrible until after my JP drain was removed. It didn't get removed until 1 week after surgery. After that I felt 200x better and now (only 9 days out) unless I look in the mirror, I don't physically feel like I had surgery. I did get up and move around quite a bit once I got home and like everyone above has said, it works.

If your pain is from the actual liquid going into your stomach, you should see your doctor to make sure you don't have a leak.

Hang in there!
