Thank you all so much for the input! I definitely have some new ideas now. I appreciate it!

I just found this website, and it's pretty amazing! Well, I have some worries. I'm on my two-week liquid diet, and I am concerned that I'm not getting in enough liquids and Protein. I was told by my nutritionist to drink twice an hour, and I'm assuming those are one-ounce drinks, since that's what they gave me in the hospital. However, I've done the math. If I drink two one-ounce cups every half hour, that's only 24 ounces in a day. I was told by my nutritionist to aim for 30-48 ounces of Fluid a day. I just don't know what to do...should I drink two ounces at a time? If I do, will that negate my surgery? Will my stomach pop open? Will I not lose weight? I'm freaking out here. Also, how in the world am I supposed to get enough protein in? I am drinking my Protein Drinks, but so far today, I've only gotten about 4 ounces in. That's only about 11 grams of protein! If any of you have an answer for me, please let me know. I'm going to email my nutritionist as well, but it sure would be nice to hear from other sleevers out there. By the way, just to give you an idea of my recovery...I'm feeling great! I'm four days out, and I'm honestly feeling pretty normal. Thanks guys

Thanks for the reply! So, if I keep sipping all day, will that stretch out my stomach to my original size? That's what I'm most concerned about.
