I was able to get in 64 oz after the 3rd day post-op. The first day, I think I got 32oz, and the second day, I got 40 oz. My plan didn't expect 64 oz until Week 4 post-op, but I was able to get a jump on that. (And I did the same with the Protein, too.)

    I was able to get 64 oz from day three too but I'm aware many have a much tougher time in recovery as far as pain when drinking :(. Just do what you can and as long as you don't have medication that turns your urine different colors, make sure that it's a light honey color. Dark urine, dizziness... Etc. are big flags of dehydration. Just keep sipping all day.

    4wks post op and it getting easier to complete 64oz. Take it one day at a time. Everyone experience is different. I talked to my nutritionist and she explained about how heavy the density of Water is and gave me an alternative like green tea.

    I was allowed to count 16 oz of my protein drinks towards my water, so counting that I was making my goal by day 3 or 4. But really I was only getting 48 oz of water in. I gradually was able to do 64 oz of water by the time I started soft foods/puréed during week 3.

    64 oz is pretty unrealistic on day 2. i was able to get about 30. By day 4 i was having no trouble and i can now actually gulp Water pretty well (day 17) but i understand that's not common.

    just do your best. honestly those first few days they told me water was more important than Protein.
