Post opt newbie

My surgery was do on Friday, April 28th. It's been four days now since surgery. Should I be consuming anything other than 2 ounces of fluids every 2hrs?

That does not seem like nearly enough Fluid. By 4 days post op I was 48-64 oz per day.

You should consume 64oz per day, but a minimum of 48oz. I approach this challenge by sipping all day and night. Now that may not work for everyone but it's easier than trying to remember to drink every 15mins or so. Even if I wake up in the middle of the night I sip before falling back to asleep. Remember at this stage liquid also includes any broth, sugar free Jello, popsicle, etc. My nurse at discharge, which had the surgery herself suggested this routine. I'm a week post op and im at an avg. Of 50oz a day. It's hard to reach 64oz everyday.
