Hello,
I've heard from a few ppl here who have seen Dr. Steinberg and he told them a good guildline is 3 Liters a day.
Hope that helps!

Yes, I am one of Dr. Steinberg's patients and I had my surgeries in April of this year. I was told to drink 3 liters of decaffinated beverages each day. Preferably water but you can drink other thinks as long as they do not contain caffiene or alcohol. Alcohol is ok once in a while but it is also dehydrating so not too much and you should not include it as part of the 3 liters for the day. I hope this helps. When I am a little dehydrated I can definitly tell, I have symptoms on my stroke side.

Dr. Rose in Houston had me drink a gallon a day. I could not keep it up. I had to go all the time. :-[ 3L sounds great. I can handle that. :)
