My son had the same surgery when he was four. I would say just follow your daughters lead. She is going to be in a lot of pain. Get her RX for pain filled and keep her on it until she feels better. Mine didn't want much of anything for a couple of days. He would sip cold Sprite, but he really didn't want any food. She's gonna yell because of the pain, it's hard for them at that age to understand that you did it for the best. We kept my son home from preschool for 3 days. One of the worst things about this surgery is the "dragon breath" they have after the surgery. It stinks pretty bad until they heal. I'm so glad we did it for my son. It cured his sleep apnea, and he really began to grow afterwards. It's a few days of misery, but worth it in the end. Best Wishes!
