Do you have trouble drinking early post-op?

I JUST HAD A LAP RNY DONE 1/22/2001. I'M HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH DRINKING. I WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS HAD A PROBLEM LIKE MINE. IT'S BEEN ABOUT 12 DAYS SINCE SURGERY, I'M ONLY DRINKING ABOUT 10 OZ. OF CLEAR LIQUIDS AND 4 OZ OF FULL LIQUIDS A DAY. THIS GIVES ME TERRIBLE BELCHING, GASTRIC DISTURBANCES, SORENESS IN STOMACH. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL? I'M WORRIED ABOUT DEHYDRATION AND LACK OF PROTEIN. I ALSO HAVE A FOUL SMELL THAT I BELCH UP. COULD THIS BE FROM THE ANESTHESIA (I WAS IN SURGERY 4.5 HOURS) COMING OUT OF MY SYSTEM. HELP--I'M REALLY GETTING WORRIED.
