How much to drink while on liquids?

j2m1h · January 15, 2017

My surgery was Tuesday for 24 hours I didn't drink anything except when taking meds. Then for next drank 30cc in different time intervals 30 mins, 20 mins, 15mins etc. My question is how much should I be drinking at one time now.I've been able to do the 64oz+ of fluids per day with no problems. But only drinking in small amounts, how much can I drink at once and how often?

Hello, You are suppose to drink Water every 15 mins only 4ozs at a time when you eat your liquids substitute it for food don't eat and drink at the same time you will throw up. For your liquid diet you can drink chicken broth or beef broth. Hope this helps...

Be carefully gentle with your stomach. The nurses had me drinking 1 ounce about every 10 to 15 minutes. Be patient, I'm 11 weeks out and instead of 2 swallows at a time I can drink 4 swallows. Try to stick to Clear Liquids. Carbonation will upset your new stomach for a while.

im 13 years out and even now I can get sick if I gulp my Water. too much to quickly can just sit there just like food at time. it is truly better to take your glass with you and sip sip sip all day long.
