1 day post-op fluid question?

[Coachthex32 166]

I am drinking 1 oz Protein Water and water every 15 mins. This will give me 40 g of protein and 48 oz of Fluid the first two days. The doctor wanted me to do this the first 48 hours before starting 3 weeks of liquid (shakes, broths, etc).

Is it safe to quit measuring and just keep taking small sips without the measuring cup? I am still hydrated from the surgery (urine is still clear) but my mouth is extremely dry.

If the bottle say 12 oz. and your Water glass say 8 then how many of those you consume will help you track.

I track everything because it is easy for me to under estimate how many calories I eat.

I also track everything I have a 22 oz glass and use that at least three times. I have found that my mind can make up things like I drink more than I do and eat less than I really do. ugh.

Right now I tally everything in 8 oz increments. But on Monday, I get to drink 12 oz pre-made Protein shakes. The only problem is that my Protein Shakes are only 11 oz. So I'll just use that for the shakes and 8 oz for most everything else.
