Fluids

I am four days postop and I am not having any issues with fluids. I had some hiccups yesterday from drinking too fast that lasted about an hour but then after that I am able to drink over 60 ounces a day and I’m wondering if that is normal or if there’s something wrong with my surgery. I feel likeI shouldn’t be able to hold or drink this much water per day just yet. Any thoughts?

    I never had an issue with drinking fluids - and the PA at my clinic said it was fine - that my stomach would let me know if I was overdoing it.

If you are drinking more than your post op guidelines suggest you should be able to manage at this point, don't drink so much or maybe have a chat with your surgeon or contact at the surgeon's office.
