Hey all. I'm 7 days post op with directions to drink only 1 once every 20min. At first this was fine however now I'm so thirsty I'm drinking more than what the Dr. recommended. what's the norm for 7days out. I'm still on clear liquids and for the next 7days can only add jello and yogurt.

I left the hospital drinking 2 ounces every 15 minutes (dietitian recommended) and had no issues getting in my 64 oz of fluid daily.

I really don't think you could drink too much. If you feel like you can get more clear fluids in, by all means...

your goal is 64 oz of water daily I don't know how many ounces that is per hour but I definately agree with Diva you just cant' drink too much water..You should try to get in as much as possible.

Thx all. My hubby was making me feel guilty cause I was drinking more than recommended.

Is it 64 oz of water plus broth and jello or all together

All the liquids on the clear diets count towards your "water" intake
