Question about drinking . . .

My nut's instructions were to drink 4-6 ozs of liquid every hour to ensure that you are getting the full 64 oz of water per day.  My problem is that I can drink much more than 4-6ozs in an hour.  There will be some hours just based on my schedule that I won't get any.  Stupid question, should I stop myself at 4-6ozs because of the sleeve (will it leak)? Or should I just drink what I can without discomfort?

Drink what you can without discomfort. I was able to drink 64 oz of water/fluid while still in the hospital. That was about all I did all day and all night. Sip sip sip.

You'll be fine. Keep the sips small and don't be in a rush.

Definitely drink what you can. Maybe you will be able to get 64 oz. I was not able to get that much in until about 2 weeks. I did not get dehydrated, but initially I would get about 48 ounces in counting my protein shakes in that tally.

If you can drink, drink!!! Just make sure you are taking small sips, not big swigs and you will be just fine. 

I also could drink more but my surgeon specifically told me not to and to stick to no more than 4oz per hour and just drink every hour I'm awake. When I had my day five follow up his PA emphasized this again saying I would move to 5 oz per hour in another few days to a week. She also said most leaks happen days 6-21. Not to scare you, just want to share it is hard and a little frustrating to stick to when it would be easy for me to do 5-6 oz per hour but since my doc has been so adamant I'm trying hard to comply.
