Fluid intake at 5 days post op...Where were you?

I am getting in about 46oz of water daily, plus about 12 oz of other fluids such as the cream of chicken soup or hot vanilla cappucino..

I am feeling good, healing well... Very loose stools.
Am I right where I should be??

 
Sounds about like what I was doing at that point.

Of course, the 'goal' is 64 oz/day (or more).

IMHO you are doing great!  :-)

Glad to hear you are feeling well.  

Loose stools are normal... liquid in = liquid out!  LOL!

 for 5 days out it sounds like you are doing pretty good. i think at 5 days is was getting close to 60 but most of it was protein shakes. once you start adding more solid foods, your stools will firm up- liquid in liquid out so to speak. just drink as much as you can and the rest of the time focus on resting.

Sounds like you're doing fine! You're on liquids, so what else should come out? Of course!

Keep sipping away.

At 5 days out I was lucky to get in 30 ozs, so to me you are doing fantastic!  Mine caused me to dehyrate really fast and be readmitted to the hospital, so keep up that good work!! 

 Sounds like you are doing great!
