It's 2 days post op for me and I am still in the hospital for the swelling around my stomach. It causes me a lot of discomfort to drink and it makes me short of breath. I am pushing threw it though. I have not been hungry yet. Maybe that's the swelling?? Anyone have that problem?

I did. My belly is so swollen that I couldn't drink for the first day and a half. They finally had to give me a steroid shot in the belly to bring it down enough so I could drink something.

Hang in there..I really couldn't drink until about day 4/5. Now, I'm 10 days out and I can drink much much better.

But today I found a new issue..since I don't get hungry, I forget to drink my Water. Quickly got dehydrated and suddenly went from feeling amazing to whoa! So it's true when they say sip sip sip. Don't forget to sip!

Hang in there! I had surgery this Monday. It's a bit of a mental game. Glad the surgeon is taking good care of you. Prayers and healing thoughts coming your way!

Thank you so much guys for your words. I will do my best. Glad all is well on you guys end.
