What about fluids???????

For me, it was just the volume issue.  Immediately post-op, my stomach capacity was only 2.8 ounces. 

Unless you've lived it you can't imagine how hard it is to stay hydrated.  I went to the ER at 3 weeks out and got a bag of fluids which turned things around for me.

Now I can chug fluids but I still don't like plain water.  I put lemon and splenda in it at restaurants and WM brand crystal lite grape in the water I drink at home.

It was really hard in the beginning.  Really hard.  But after about 3-4 weeks it slowly started getting better.  Now I can eat and drink HUGE quantities of food and liquids.
