Is it possible to sip too much water during the liquid phase immediately post-op? I am able to easily sip 64oz or more in a day. Is this normal? I am worried about hurting my stomach with too much liquid. I have always been a huge water drinker, often having over 100oz per day regularly. So to me, this seems normal or even less than I am used to.

What did you experience after surgery?

Yes, it is normal to be able to drink that readily. It is also normal to have problems getting enough in if on has a lot of inflammation in the stomach from the surgery. These are two ends of the "normal" spectrum of expectations. i, too, had no problem sipping vast quantities of liquid early on, while my wife struggled, the doc was not concerned with either situation.
