48-64 oz a day - if you can make the higher amount so much the better, but you should get in at least 48 oz. This may not be possible in the early going unless you "sip, sip, sip all day long"...R

Gene, the minimum required by surgeons and nutritionists all around is 64oz. I've never heard of it being less, but ofcourse its always better to get even more than that!

I drink 4-5 liters a day at this point. (I am about 2 1/2 months postop.) I really feel better when I drink more water. IT is also important so you do not get dehydrated. Good luck!
