I get that you need a min of 64 ounces, but how many per hour is good. I feel so full all the time!!!! Thanks! I also know nothing during meals and 30 minutes after.

I"m struggling with this same question. I feel like I'm always shoving something down my throat - always! I struggle to get the 64 ounces down.

Right after surgery, I timed myself to 2 ounces every 15 min. which adds up to 8 ounces every hour.  Do this for 8 hours and that equals 64 ounces.  Even now when I have trouble getting the water in I will line up my 4-5 bottles of water in the morning and make sure I drink then all by bedtime.  Of course now I can drink a lot more at a time so it isn't as hard.

Thanks, that helps! 2 ounces per 15 minutes doesn't seem to bad. I think I will break the medicine dosing cups back out to help a bit!!

Dealing with constipation, I started drinking over 20 ounces of warm water first thing in the morning discovering water goes down easy when you wake up dry.  It's nice to get in half the water requirement first thing.  It's also nice to ease off water in the evening hours so getting up in the middle of the night isn't necessary.  I never timed ounces per hour newly post-op-- just continually sipped water while following the nothing during or 30 minutes after.  Today, water is everywhere--by the recliner, by the bed, by the computer, and a case in the car and entrance door (only bottled water for outings).

I am having tea and a bit of zero Powerade with all the water too. 10 oz of tea, 2 oz Powerade and whatever I can get in water wise. It just seems I am so full and burping constantly. Meal time comes for the protein and I feel worse. I am doing it, plugging thru!!
