Yep...it says one ounce at a time, but as much fluid as u can drink without hurting

I have been walking since the first day. Standing up to urinate etc. my back muscles are just really sore. May just be the way I've been sleeping. My docs orders are for 1 ounce per hour of clear liquids for the first week! Then 2 ounces liquid diet for week two...anybody else's different?

I'm 2 days postop. Also had hiatal and umbilical hernias corrected. The umbilical hernia has caused the most pain, although the gas has been hurting as well. Did anyone have back pain? I think it's just from laying on my back since the surgery, but my back is really sore!
