How long until I can eat again?

I just had my first breast augmentation on January 25th.  I went with 325cc sub muscular.  My doctor had first recommended I go over the muscle because I have such tight skin, but after doing some research and learning that sub muscular not only looks more natural, but is better for mammography imaging (I have breast cancer in my family) we then agreed to go with under the muscle.  It has been 5 days since my surgery.  I am so nauseous that I can barely eat anything and have taken in very little calories over the last 5 days.  I have suffered with constipation and I suspect I am dehydrated though I am trying to at least push fluids.  I get up in the mornings and within a couple of hours I have to lay down for a nap.  My breasts are so firm and tight and uncomfortable and I am feeling so discouraged and am starting to question whether I just made an $8,000 mistake.  My husband is getting worried because I cannot eat and my doctor thinks that it has to do with constipation making me feel so lousy.  I am supposed to go back to work on Monday and cannot imagine how I am going to do that.  I am also in a grad school program and am in my final semester, which is why I chose to do the surgery now, because I wanted to be boobilicious for graduation!    So, I have classes and an internship on top of work.  Ugh...anyone else had this problem?
