3 days post op and in pain just sipping water

I had my surgery on 3/26/2018 and to this day I still can't drink much water. Yesterday I could only drink around 5 ounces with a lot of pain, is it normal?

Also weird fact when I weighed myself after returning from the hospital I had gained 4 pounds??

Warm beverage seems to help me. I'm doing better. How are you doing? Hope your fever is down?

Glad you don't have fever anymore. I'm doing much better getting my water down and on to protein shake now. Lost 15 pounds so far so I'm pretty happy about that..., how are you?

I’m now at 3 weeks and what I found that worked is get a snow cone machine I have a Hawaiian Shaved ice machine it will allow you to keep the ice in your mouth longer. I found that I wanted to drink because my mouth was so dry but could not get water down. This will help. You can get sugar free mixes but I just eat it plan with nothing on it.
