in the early stages small sips every couple of minutes. after a week or so in it will be easier to drink more. i am about six weeks out i drink a full glass of Water in about 5 mins. i really don't feel restrictions with liquids but i dont want to push it.

    I'm 4 days out and struggling to consume the right amount of water. And being this dehydrated is making my blood pressure and heart rate go up. Any tips to getting in fluids?

    Depends on how far along you are. First couple of weeks it was tiny sips and only a few at a time. Now I'm almost 5 months out and i can do a few big gulps at a time

    I couldn't stand drinking water post-op. I got fluids from broth (20-40ml at a time), ice blocks and crushed ice.

    Try adding some flavor to your water or get some sports drinks
