How many oz does our stomach hold?

I had surgery Monday and on discharge they said to drink 4oz of fluids an hour but if i could drink more then i could till i felt comfortable. I have been drinking some crystal light for the past 45 min, got 8 oz down and don't feel any signs of fullness. I am not going to drink anymore just because i feel like 8oz is a lot for a small stomach. So my question is how many oz are they able to hold? And should I be worried that I don't feel any signs of my stomach being full after 8oz?

I can drink unlimited fluids' date=' I can hold around 5oz of yogurt. 2-3oz of solid Protein or 4oz of a mix of protein/veggies. According to my paperwork I'm where I should be. I'm 4 weeks post op. My daily goal is 900 calories, <40g of Carbs >70g of protein and I hit it and have since 2 weeks post op. I eat 5 times a day.[/quote']
