Less than a week post-op and hardly feel like drinking.

I'm just a mess. With my throat being sore and feeling like I'm constantly going to gag and the great amount of gas I have, I don't feel like drinking anything at all. I have been told that I need to drink at least 4 ounces of clear liquids per hour, but I feel so bloated and uncomfortable I can't do it. Half the time I even forget to. I am never hungry and I never feel thirsty, but I know I could really suffer if I don't up my intake here. Anyone else go through the same thing their first week? I tried Gas-X but that did nothing for me. I've only had a BM once since I've been home.
