When do I start increasing fluid intake

I am one week and 1 day post surgery. When I was first released from the hospital it said to take in 2-4 oz per hour. I was wondering when I could increase that. I was reading that you can gradually increase this to 8 oz but I was just wondering when a safe time to start doing this

    I never had a restriction on my water intake, I would do what your dr. advised you to do.

    Whatever you can tolerate should be fine. Just don't chug! I did and it came right back up.....looked like old faithful! LOL!

    Dont limit your Fluid intake. Drink as much Water was you comfortably can with the goal of a minimum of 64oz a day.

    Personally, since I dont have a lot of restriction I can chug my water without having it come back up. But not something I recommend!

    When I was first released from the hospital the directions of the diet said about 2-4 oz a day but could gradually increase to 8. I really appreciate all the advice. I really miss chugging water :D
