Well, you're right. I enlarged it and read it. That makes no sense to me!

I drink 16 oz bottles of Water...in an hour...??

Decaf coffee, diluted grape juice, Protein shakes, milk....it all adds up for me.

Maybe double check with your dr or NUT...

Hi everyone! It's been 2 years since my surgery and I still have a hard time drinking enough Water. unfortunately I also have ADHD and find it difficult to remember to drink enough water. I have posted a discussion regarding Vitamin Defiencies and would like some help with that if anyone would take the time to read and reply...Thank you

I don't understand the 2oz per hour requirement. I was drinking much, much more than that, even in the hospital. I haven't had trouble drinking; in fact, I've been surprised that I haven't had to take itsy bitsy little sips. I'm not guzzling or gulping, but I take a normal drink. Then I take another one. And maybe another one. And I keep doing that throughout the day, when I can.

I only need to drink two Protein shakes a day (12 oz) so that helps.

hang in there and happy drinking!

Are you sure it's not a 2 oz per hour minimum and not an upper limit?

I can see sipping that slowly the first day or two post-surgery because you have to, but not as you are healing and the swelling goes down.

Please double-check with your NUT. Staying hydrated and getting in your Protein is so critical. I'd hate to see you wind up in the ER.

Talked to my nut today, and was told I can have up to 8oz of Water per hour, but limit other liquids to 2-3oz. Doing my happy dance and sipping on a big mug of water! ????????

That is great to hear!

That limit sounded more like a minimum than a maximum to me.
