Will the thirst ever go away?

I am 8 days post-op RNY. I am following my instructed liquid diet and drinking 2 ozs of protein every hour followed by 3-6 ozs of a hydrating liquid. The problem is, I am SO THIRSTY. I want to just drink a bottle of water. Will this thirst eventually subside? And will I ever be able to drink more than an ounce at a time? Thanks for your help :)
