How do I know if I have drunk to much liquids even in small sips?

I was operated on Feb 11th 2010 . I have no pain ,did not get gas, No difficulties with the anesthetic nor any extreem tiredness. HOWEVER.... I did end up with thrush in my mouth from one medication for asthma the the hospital gave me. @ days after the surgery on a visit for clearance to travel I mentioned this to the doctor and she said since it was in my mouth it was for sure in the new pouch too! YIKES. Good news is Meds to take care of that are in liquid form and not horrible to swallow. Now that the Fungus is clearing up I am now feeling my new pouch fill and empty. The doctor said that I really needed to be careful not to over fill the pouch. Am I able to take regular mouthfulls or one ounce divided into 3 sips like in the hospital? I feel tired of always having to take tiny sips and it takes so long to get in 3 cups of liquid. I have lost so far 13 lbs since the day before surgery and feel really great. I even like the vanilla shake ( I use powder in water.)
