I usually get 7 liters every day. I feel like total crap if I get as low as 3 liters.

Google orthostatic hypotention. It's very common in the first year. You seem to be a likely candidate.

Hey there... Surgery buddy!  Day 5 for us.  I had a call with my surgeon's nurse yesterday... I am not getting enough protein but she said just what Grim said.  64 ounces of liquid (water, jello) minimum is the absolute top priority. She said if I feel full cut down on food but make sure to get the water in. 

Right now I take 1000 ml of water and my protein shakes have a total of 700ml.  Does that mean my liquid intake is 1700?

My surgeon does not count the protein drinks or broth, because they are not hydrating.  I am under orders to get st least 64 ounces of liquid.  That can be water (recommended) or a combination of water, jello, decaf tea, flavored waters.  I have been sticking to jus****er and a bit of jello for diversity.  It is difficult!  

I am having a terrible time with the protein drinks... Loved the premier protein before surgery but they are just way too sweet now.  I had some of the Dannon light and fit greek yogurt this morning with a scoop of unflavored protein powder, and it was a good choice.  Already have 33 grams of protein!

going to try cottage cheese tonight.  What are you getting by on?  Are you on blended yet?

The only things I am having right now are water and my premiere protein shakes.  Like you they are terrible.  I will start yogourt, blended foods tomorrow.  Cottage cheese will be in another 2 weeks, my plan does not allow it yet.  I have increased my water today and feel great.  No issues at all.
