how can I keep breastmilk flowing when I have to pump and dump?

I have gallstones and pancreatitis and because of the medicine I am on and because I’m in the hospital (wireless net here thankfully), I cannot breastfeed my daughter. I have been pumping but it seems like everytime I get less and less milk. They have me on a clear liquid diet and I can’t drink mothers milk tea. What else can I do to ensure my milk wont completely dry up by the time I am off the medication?! I really want to be able to make sure my daughter is getting breastmilk again.
I’m not sure what the name of the medication they have me on is called but I was told the pain killer has been linked with sids so that is the main reason I am pumping and dumping and giving her formula.
I know I am on an antibiotic the bag says Zosyn.

I’ll ask the nurse or dr. next time they come in about the fenugreek stuff, if it’s a pill I doubt I’ll be able to take it because like I said I’m on an all liquids diet and I’ll be in the hospital til Saturday so I wouldn’t even be able to go out and look for it.
