My doctor has me on 1 oz an hour of clear liquids for 2 weeks. That's ok right? I had surgery on Jan 30 and I'm not hungry at all. Did anyone else have to do this? I'm not complaining..I don't want anymore, I just want to make sure I'm getting enough fluids. What do you think?

I think I would call my doctor and make sure this is what he wants. It seems if you only drink 1 oz per hour, the most you would get in would be 24 oz of Fluid per day. I think one would get dehydrated? Doesn't sound right to me?? But I'm no doctor. I was told to get in at least 64 oz per day and my apple juice, broth's, creamy Soups, and SF Jello count towards my total intake.

that sounds wrong. call the dr. and ask again. maybe for the first day--but i think you'll be dehydrated quickly if you stay on that schedule.
