she will eat when she is ready but fluids are not optional. give her some ice chips sips of her favorite juice popsicles frozen go-gurt or some chicken soup. she may have been promised "all the ice cream she can eat" so put ice cream on that intake list. assuming she is not nauseated the fluids will sustain her until she is ready to eat. hopefully the surgeon or her pediatrician gave her something for pain if not ask for it is you think she needs it.
