Anyone have Dr. P. O'brien (sf,sd) ?? Need help with getting enough fluids!!!

Had surgery a week ago. I am so dehydrated that I wanted to cry yesterday but wasn't even able to produce tears!!! I have written the dietitian and she was more concerned with whether I am pureering my food!! I hardly pee at all and it's very dark. I need more than 3oz of fluid an hour! Yesterday I gulped about 6oz at once more than once yesterday. Today I finally feel decent and not so miserably dehydrated!! I figured out today that when it's all said and done I only get 31.5oz of fluid a day and less than 14 of that is water!! I am not cheating on food or anything I just need MORE WATER!! Am I hurting my pouch???
