Does this get better?

I am 3 days post op. It is painful when I drink Water and I get painful gas under my ribs and in my back afterwards. I also can't do broth or jell-o or anything, it makes me nauseous. I am able to drink my Protein water but only with it diluted with water. So here are my questions:

1. What is the MINIMUM Fluid intake for a day to prevent dehydration

2. Does the burping and painful gas go away?

3. Does all of this get better?

    I broke my pills in half, then put them on my tongue as far back as I could without gagging, then a sip or two to get it down. That worked for me
