trouble getting in liquids

At 9 days post op, I am REALLY having a terrible time getting in all the required fluids.  I can barely tolerate plain water at all anymore; so I am lucky to get in 8 oz of that a day, but I DO drink herbal tea, protein drinks, juice, broth, popcycles, etc.  However, I am still far away from getting the 50 oz. I am supposed to be.   How in the world does one get all that down????    I did not expect to have this problem, because I have been doing well with everything else.  I go back to see my doctor on Monday and I know that everyone there is going to preach at me!   Does it get easier???  

Hey with the protien drinks the tea juice & broth your getting in lots of fluids...I too am a newbie
3 weeks out and it's tough getting in the water...we got to keep on trucking..Best wishes...Des

I am 10 days out and lucky if I get in 40 oz. not counting the liquid I mix my protein with.
I am not hungry.  I do not mind the taste of the water it just fills me up.
Good luck to you.

I am five days out, and I am having the same problem. I use to drink water like crazy, but it makes me really nausous now. I count everything I swallow as being my liquids since I am on liquid diet. While i wish I was doing better with it, but I know I am not dehyrdated, and it will get easier...

I am 6 days out and I am also having problems getting all this in. I am full after such a little bit and I just am finding it hard to get all that in expecially if I am not hungry! I am sipping water all the time but even that fills me up. I am not sure what to do either.

SIP SIP SIP SIP SIP SIP SIP.........ALL DAY.......AND IT WILL GET EASIER......

Me too, it seems like all I do is put things in my mouth, protein, vitamins, water.....ugh.  I never thought this would be coming from me, but I am so sick and tired of eating and drinking.  I had surgery on 9/15 and it has taken until the last two days for me to get all of my 60 grams of protein in, but I only get about 24 oz of water in....yet I am still trying.  On a good note, I was so happy to have an opportunity to actually go out and do a 20 minute walk all by myself!!!!!
