I have no appetite, no thirst and no energy.

I had my surgery on 10/29/02. Since that time I'm lucky if I'm able to eat 4-6 oz per day, and drink maybe 8-12 ozs of water or Kool-Aide per day. And, I just can't seem to make heads or tales of my doctors printed eating instructions. I have a 1 ounce stomach, and the instructions say to eat 6-8 ounces of food per hour - how can I do this with a 1oz stomach? And what about water? Do I drink with the meal, before the meal, or after the meal? If so, then how long? And, how much? And, as if that weren't enough I have 4 herniated discs in my back and take pain medication for them, so I'm sure they aren't helping the situation. Someone please help me, I'm not an idiot, but I feel like I'm just absolutely lost here.
