Post Op Diet, First Day

Hello, I have a question. I just had my surgery this morning. I know my post op diet is pure Clear liquids, at least for the first week. Things I have read say just one sip of Water here and there today and maybe a bit more tommorrow. I am not chugging anything, or taking big gulps, but sipping a bit of water? I am starving! Oh, btw, my doc has ok'd Protein shakes for this week too. I am drinking that too. Took me 6 hours to finish one can.

Back to my question, is it ok to be drinking water and broth? Or should I be sipping just a bit?

Thank you!

Stephanie

    I didn't have any limits on water (except to not drink too fast). If you're taking drinks (bigger than sips), I'm sure you'll be okay (gulps can hurt now). Broth is definitely okay too; also jello and popsicles were okay.
