Day 4 post-op - sipping...

Jun 10, 2011

My water intake is getting a little bit better.  I've been tracking it and also tracking when I take my medication.  I slept until 11:30am this morning so from 6am - 2pm I only drank 8 (half ounce) medicine cups for a total of 4oz.  From 2pm to 10pm I drank 36 (half-ounce) cups of liquid for a total of 18oz of liquid.  I'm working on getting a little bit more water in before I head to bed.  But so far today I have drank 22 ounces of water.  I'm supposed to be around 42 ounces starting out!  Tomorrow I will work harder at it and try to drink more frequently.  I didn't think it was going to be so difficult to get all of the fluids in .  There were points of where I felt full and that I could not drink anymore so I did have to take a few breaks from sipping. I'm supposed to drink two 1/2 ounce cups of liquid every 15 minutes.

*Update* - I only drank 32 oz of water just 2 oz more than yesterday. LOL. I need to wake up earlier and really try harder to get more fluids in.
