I am having a difficult time eating and drinking what should I do

I had stomach stapling 21 years ago. I had revision surgery where they undid the old surgery and redid it into the RNY. I have had A LOT of pain. I feel very, very weak. Like I can hardly lift my arms or do anything for myself. I am not trying to be a baby but I am having a very difficult time. I have a lot of gas pains in my shoulder and chest. I am having a lot of surgical pain to the point of not being able to take a deep breath. This is making it terribly hard to eat or drink. My revision surgery was an emergency. I never got to see a nutritionist or go to a class. I am completely lost as to what I'm supposed to eat and when I am to eat it. I know I'm not drinking anywhere the amount of water that I should be. I don't want to get dehydrated. I just can't drink. What should I do. I call the nut and they never called me back. Surgery was 5/5/09 and today is 5/9/09. I feel so alone. I am in so much pain and I can't even keep the pain medicine down. Is this at all normal? Please help me. Do I need to buy a protein powder and add it to things I eat? Where do I get it from? Susan
