mkardh 52 Posted May 15, 2012 Ok so we need to get around 64oz of Water in a day.... can we consider water mixed with our protien as part of that requirement? What about the water used to make our broth? Or is this considered food only? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hadouni 301 Posted May 15, 2012 popsicles, Jello, any fluids count as "water" for my surgeon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bout_it 5 Posted May 15, 2012 Anything that is a liquid goes toward fluids...It's been 5 weeks since surgery, and I still forget to push for 64oz of fluids a day! Make sure to try n sip every 15 minutes so you don't get dehydrated... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted May 15, 2012 Soups and Protein Shakes count as liquids until you're back on solid food, then they count as food, at least in my surgeon's booklet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
