Is this too much?

[The Preacher 161]

This is my third day after surgery, today I was able to consume 82 ounces of liquids with little to no discomfort.

The 82 ounces of liquid consisted of, 2 1/2 Premier Protein drinks, 1 cup of cream of mushroom Soup strained, 2 sugar-free popsicles and 42 ounces of Water.

My question is, is this too much for a person who is only three days out from surgery?

My calorie intake was around 620 cal.

Yes probably, but talk to your doctor or RD and ask. That's more important than my opinion--some schmoe on the internet.

I couldn’t have accomplished that feat three days out from surgery but I agree with The Fluff here....speak to your team about what you should be consuming at this point.

I totes agree, and I could drink fluids pretty freely--they just wouldn't let me. I think I still had a 4oz per hour limit at 3 days, or maybe it was still 2oz per hour? Can't remember exactly. But I do remember I'd wake up at 4:30am and start my Fluid intake for the day and drink until 10 or 11pm when I went to bed.
