Post surgery diet

[corrov]

Is there a limit on how much water to drink daily? How often should you be eating a day (soups, juices, ect) I'm on day 3

I was told pretty much all you want. Since you are on clear liquids you aren't getting very much nutrition from them, so as long as you are hungry, go nuts. As for water, staying hydrated is very important. Just ask the woman who got kidney stones post-op because she didn't drink enough. This is a time of healing, don't worry about loosing weight.

I also had a real quick question, how soon are you able to drink alcohol again after surgery? I havent asked my Dr so I thought I would just see if someone knew on here. thanks!!
