Get to your clinic and get an IV, dehydration is nothing to fool around with. Once you are in that state it is difficult to rehydrate yourself.

Try warm weak tea, it relaxes the esophagus and muscles. Sip all day, seriously all day, glue that cup or bottle to your hand. Are you eating? Try soup.

I’m 2 days post op and I’m struggling to get fluids down as well. I can’t even imagine trying to drink a protein shake right now.
Also also try the Premier Protein Clear drinks. This is second week out and initially it was the only thing I could drink for the first few days. They are it thick and easy to sip on.

It was easier to get in warm liquids (broth), a bit at a time. We picked up a little one cup hot plate (I think they are usually for keeping tea warm). It was really helpful.

I know this post is old but I had gastric surgery on 7/2/19 and it hurts every time I sip on anything. I’m freaking out about getting dehydrated but I can’t “stomach” the pain ?‍♀️
