Drinking more liquids than I was told I could on day 5 post op

[Karen Crawford Wright 20]

I'm on day 5 post op. I'm able to drink plenty of fluids, more than I was told I would be able to and not really having any trouble unless I drink too fast. I hope this is ok.

It is fine...if you are able to get your daily intake accomplished then begin to work on your Protein amounts

Congratulations your one of the "lucky" ones

after day 3, fluids were never an issue....If I have haven't eaten I can drink as much Water as I want. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones...my surgeon on the first 2 post op visits was only concerned about liquids. He told me about 20% of his patients are like me, basically no restriction on fluids, good restriction on solid foods.

I am day 3 Post op and I too can drink all that I want without pain. I do sip pretty frequently. Also, this morning I was able to eat thinned greek yogurt for Breakfast. I probably should have measured, but I ate the entire 5.3 oz container in the course of an hour. For lunch, I had butternut squash Soup, about 1/3 cup, then for dinner 4 T of Broccoli Soup. Also sipped on Protein shake in between.

I suppose I was so worried about dehydration and feeling weak from lack of Protein that I remained focused and intent. Hopefully I'm not doing anything to hurt myself! But just to be safe, tomorrow I will measure everything... can't be too careful!
