I know it sounds weird because, obviously, we're still supposed to drink our fluids following surgery, but I really miss water. I think I miss water more than I do most foods. I've been sip, sip, sipping as much as I can since surgery but I don't seem to be able to get in that magic # of 64oz. I'm a guzzler from way back, I've always been the person who can drink a full glass of water in just 2-3 drinks. I miss being able to guzzle, lol. Sipping is difficult for me. An old boyfriend used to get so annoyed with me back when I drank soda, because I could finish a can of soda in 2 drinks. I haven't drank soda in probably 5 years so that's moot, just giving you an idea of how fast I drink. And, the whole "don't drink 30 minutes before you eat or 30 minutes to an hour after you eat"...how do you guys do that??? It's so difficult for me not to drink while I'm eating! I fully understand the reasoning behind it but it's, seriously, probably one of the biggest things I'm struggling with...well, that and not guzzling!
