I had surgery on 11/19...still having a very hard time eating and getting enough liquids....I'm eating maybe twice a day..(forcing myself) about 2-3 ozs and it always does not feel good afterwards..I chew..chew and eat slowly...Liquids...I sip and sip all day and I've finally reached 30-32 ozs of water...nothing else...can't do protien or any juices...way too sweet (even waterd down). I've lost 28 lbs. and been there for a week. I see everyone else is doing much better than me. Is anyone in the same boat as me? All advice is welcome !!!

I went through te sam thing. It has only been in the last week that I have been doing good on my water intake. Each person is diffrent. right now fluid in take is the most inportant. I ended up dehydrating. Be careful and call your surgeon and tell them waht is going on.

I had the same problem. My doc told me to water down some gatorade to help with my electrolytes.(cannot spell today). Please call your doc before you try this.
