Melissa -

Your body is still healing and adjusting.  It'll get easier, believe me.  For now, just try to follow your surgeon's guidelines - at three weeks post-op, I was JUST finishing full liquids, I think. 

Keep a bottle of water with you at all times - everywhere you go.  And try to get in the habit of constantly sipping - as soon as you think about it, sip!

Like I said, it'll get easier.  Just do the best you can.  S/f popsicles help a lot, too.

I have not sweated since surgery!! I don't know why!  LOL I have rarely felt "hot" and mostly slightly cold...  Even in this heat and shopping on Sunday I never actually broke a sweat!  Weird...  I used to HATE summer and always be hot!

So far... Not looking good yet today..

8 oz water
16 oz iced tea
4 oz crystal light

Not quiet half way...    Am 2/3 of the way done with vits though!
