She is fine. you are the one that is upset. dogs adapt just fine to a cone. I hope you didn't trim it too far so that she can bend and get to her stitches. They are usually fitted at the vets office for the cone so that its just long enough for them not to reach their incision.
she needs to wear it whenever you cannot keep both eyes on her. If you take her out to potty you can take the cone off as long as you are watching her. same goes for eating. however if she just can't leave her sutures alone for the few minutes it takes to pee/poop then she needs to wear it.
think of it as a fun party hat. its not hurting her and she really isn't as miserable as you think she is with it on.
