Home!

I am home from hospital. I'm wondering how slow is to slow. I have been able to get 16oz of water and I'm still trying to get one protein shake in from about 8 p.m. I dry heaved about three times in the hospital with the last one having some liquid. I'm mostly just sore. I think I'm going to slow, but way more afraid of drinking too fast. I have plenty of liquid today from the IV. How much liquid per hour would be good?

Hey! Glad your home from the hospital! My doctor told me 1 oz every 15 min of protein shake or water which is like a big gulp. I did a bad job of getting my water in yesterday. I just had my surgery on Tuesday and came home Wednesday. I wish you a speedy recovery
