It doesn't matter if you have an appetite you need the fluids so you don't become dehydrated. Try to drink at least one oz of something every 15 minutes.

You will eat "food" when you feel hungry. It gets better. The first few days are hard to get adjusted.

drink your fluids. whether you want them or not. 64 oz a day. drink water, crystal light, tea, coffee, sugar free koolaid

For the first day or two, Water alone should be just fine. But you really do need to start getting some sort of calories and nutrients in you. I had trouble stomaching MORE broth after so much of it during pre-op, so I was straining low sodium broth based Soups and sipping them through out the day.

Remember terrydumont she is only 2 days out of surgery so the oz, of Water every 15 min, is what is normal , I am not sure if she can have more on day 2 or 3 , hopefully she got the post op directions fro her surgeon, it says what to do, just saying , then again different doctors do different things .

If you got the pre op instructions from your Surgeon ask for the post op instructions it says what to do and if not you can find it on the e where and follow that for pre & post op , I know for me I think it was either 1 or 2 days 1oz of Water everf course it was hard and it had to be room temp or I could chew and suck on ice chips , then I could do clear broth on either day 2 or 3 if your never sure about anything , always please ask your surgeon.
