I am in no pain at all, just a little tired, but I am having trouble getting in the 64 oz of liquids a days the doctor said I need. I am not hungry at all, the smell of food make me want to throw up!! I am getting about 32 oz but can't seem to manages more then that. Any advise?

Just keep trying. Once the swelling goes down you will. Measure ahead of time and set a goal for finishing that amount and add to it everyday. Also check your urine and make sure you are not getting dehydrated. I would set the kitchen timer for like every 15 minutes and I had to have 1 1/2 to 2 ounces every 15 minutes. I would take it from my pre measured bottle and thats how I pushed my self to do more. I never got up to the 60+ ounces they wanted though. However, my urine was clear so I knew I was not dehydrated.

Thanks! I'll try that. Remembering to drink had been a problem so hopefully this will work.

I had surgery on a friday morning and I had no desire to drink anything until Monday...I think if you just do the best you can you will be fine

I had my surgery on Weds (6/24). Getting my water in has been a challenge. I seem to do better when I carry a bottle with me and just continually sip it. This is my 4th day past surgery and I am finally feeling like the swellling is going down, and that should make it easier.

Drinking 64oz of water is hard. I just get sick of drining all of the time. Keeping it handy does help. As I am one to forget I will be taking that advise to set a timer. THAT IS A GOOD IDEA.

Setting a timer to remember to drink also makes you get up and walk around to help move the air around if it is bothering you still.
