Well, I made it through. These past few days have been rough, but manageable. To be honest with you, I was completely out of it yesterday. However, I made myself get up as much as possible to walk the halls. This morning was the roughest for me, and think it has to do with the oral pain medication. I have twice; the first was from drinking too fast (it may have been my first foamie?), but the second was definitely related to the medicine. I'm pushing to get as much liquid in as possible, but like so many people have said before, it is tough. I guess I kinda took it for granted. Anyway, the point of all this is to say I made it through two days, and I'm starting to feel a tad bit better. I've got a long way to go, but at least I've finally begun the journey!

Congrats on your surgery!! Im jst 3 weeks out myself. The first week is tough, but honestly everyday is a little better then the day before. It took my at least 5 days to be able to actually drink 16-24 oz of Water. It was painful to swallow. By the second week, it was not bad at all and found I could get in 64 oz. the key s to just take small sips, and try not to get to much air when you swallow! That was and still is my biggest issue! I never realized that when I drink I gulp!
