I having the problem of not being able to drink Post-op

Thank you Sherilarae. I am going to sip' date=' sip, sip slowly all day. I never thought I would have the problem of getting food / liquid in me. Someone told me that my insides are still swollen and things will get better. I can't wait for that day [/quote']

I second what everyone else has told you. I used a clock and took super tiny sips all the time' date=' with the goal of drinking 1 oz. every 15 minutes while I was awake. I drank from a shot glass and used a 1 cup liquid measuring cup like a pitcher. I drank everything room temp at first, but everyone is different. Another thing I liked very early out is Sleepy Time Tea.

Thank you Isereno. I do feel like it is easier with room temperature or warmer drinks such as strained Soup or broth. I have some tea to try. I wish I had posted this a few days ago. I have received so much helpful advice. I feel as if I shorted myself the first few days post surgery. I'm not too far off track. I think I like the tea before bed. Thank you again.
