    I know my Dr said that my arms will be by my side, and my legs felt like they were being strapped to the table. I had robotic assisted surgery.

    Sip away all day long! 64oz is typically the amount per day. Hope your feeling better! The way you described your arms hurting sounds like someone had you by the wrist when the transferred you after surgery.

    Here was mine from way back when:

    Remember to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of fluid daily. Rapid weight loss along with a protein rich diet causes the kidneys to work harder to eliminate waste. Drinking plenty of fluid helps the body flush out these waste products and prevents dehydration and poor kidney function.

    I know it's not funny, but I always chuckle when I hear people saying they have pain after surgery. I'm thinking all surgery comes with pain. But I'm thrilled to hear you're doing better and in a week the pain should be gone. Best of luck to you!
    My question wasn’t written very well. I’m worried to stretch my stomach Which it says that in my paperwork i could. When I wrote that message it was only 3:00pm I didn’t mean I was stopping at 32oz. I feel like I’m getting conflicting messages. So, sip, sip but don’t sip too much. It doesn’t hurt my stomach to sip nor can I tell when I’m full. Also, in my paperwork it says there is no way you can get all 64 oz at first. Well actually I think I could. I was anxious, needing some reassurance and on some heavy pain medicine. I love following rules always have which is why I was asking my question. Why is not ok for me to talk about the next thing that was happening to me which happened to be pain? I’m glad I could make you laugh.
