I bought the unjury flavourless and chicken soup. My surgery is Monday. I was told that I would only take in like 2 onz of liquid but how do I do the chicken soup measurments with such little onz.  Please don't judge me!!Lol.

You'll probably only be able to sip some warm water or tea for the first couple of days anyways.  As for the soup, I would make a small batch per the packet directions, and then just see how many ozs you can get in by sipping it.

Thank you, Were not allowed to drink coffee but were allowed tea, right?

Are we allowed tea the day after surgery too?

I did have some warm tea the day after my surgery, but it was on my surgeon's list for clear liquids - along with coffee.  You should ask your surgeon if you can have coffee and tea afterwards and see what he/she says.  It could just be an oversight that it wasn't on your list, or they could have a good reason to omit it.

I was told that coffee is a no no. I will ask for the tea.

Thanks again.

liquids go straight thru your system so you should  be able to drink 2 oz every 15 min. get a candle warmer,cheap at walmart and keep your mug of soup on it to stay warm. it will clump up if you try to warm it too much in the microwave.

The hospital that I had my surgery at gave me these little 2oz medicine cups.  They worked like a charm.  I would fill one and toss it when I emptied it.  If you are only using it for water you can reuse them, but it helped to keep track of what I was taking it.   You should be able to pick them up at any medical supply place.
