Dehydration

[Lolly2369 18]

hey everyone! just 4 days post op and wondering if I am getting in enough liquids. before leaving the hospital I was to drink 2 ounces every half hour, 4 ounces an hour. I'm trying to do that now tht I'm home but I'm getting full so quickly and it seems to take an hour to get 2 ounces in. I'm affraid of dehydration because I've been peeing and using the restroom a lot and don't know if I'm able to catch up with the liquids. If someone could tell me how much they are drinking or drank post op and didn't get dehydrated that would be very appreciated thanks!

It takes a while to get up to being able to drink the required amount. I am 5 weeks out and still working to get it all in. If you are peeing and it isn't dark in color, you are ok.

I had the same problem after surgery. I had to go to the er with a Migraine caused by dehydration, and after that i drank alot of light gaterade until i was able to get enough Water in. That helped for me :-) hope it helps you!
