I would keep ice chips near me at all times until you get used to the sipping or sucking on ice. It will help keep you hydrated and you will realize when it's time for another chip because it will have melted. That was my surgeon's suggestion and it seems to work. Also, look for a brand of yogurt called Voskos, it's Greek and it has 13 grams of protein. It is carried by Safeway, Whole Foods, Ralphs, Wild Oats, AJ's, Sprouts, and Andronico's. Safeway stores are probably the most easy to find. Also, if you drink Starbucks or drink smoothies you can get a lot of protein in that way without having to drink or eat much at all.
