..and I must say I'm doing pretty well. Surgery was Thursday morning at a facility in Glendale (however my surgeon is based out of cedar-sinai) the hours right after surgery and up until yesterday were very painful. Nothing the pain meds couldnt control though. I havent vomited once which I think is pretty good... it has however been a struggle to get my needed liquids in ... i just get so full quickly. Today I feel really well and almost no pain (just the uncomfort of my drain which will be removed Tuesday). I'll be lucky to get half a bottle of my isopure in today..

That's great you are feeling good today already! I will be glad when my surgery is behind me, 5 weeks to go!

I am a week post-op and I too struggled with liquids the first few days. Do what you can. Try crystal light packets to add to water. It makes a big differences so that you are not just drinking the same thing over and over again. I like the peach tea flavor of crystal ligjt. Also if you are using the little medicine cups line ten up and try to drink ten within a hour. you'll be fine just make sure you get some liquid in. Take care.

Thanks for the encouragement
