How many ounces of fluid a day?

I got banded on May 31 and am currently in the all liquid phase. And I'm curious how much fluid I should be drinking a day. I'm currently drinking about 100 oz a day including water. Is that an acceptable amount, or could I be stretching the pouch at that amount?

    my doctor told me 4 oz every hour, for about 48 oz total a day. You may be pushing it at 100 oz.
