How much should I be drinking? How often?

My mother had the sleeve surgery 3 days ago and i'm just curious on how much fluids she should be consuming.

She is currently having 3 ounces of sugar free muscle milk every hour, and slowly sipping water in between , but how much time should be in between each fluid, and how much should she be drinking? I'd appreciate the help :) :) :)

    My doctor told me to sip one ounce every ten minutes. Try using a medicine cup and have her continue to refill and sip it. Also, if she is watching tv she could try sipping every commercial break. It really just takes a few days to get the hang of it.

    The general rule is 64 oz.
