Tracking liquids and food?

[BriDawn 79]

I'm three days post op and on full fluids. My NUT wants me to "eat" 1/2 cup of food (Soup, yogurt, thin oatmeal, Jello, etc) every hour I'm awake. While also sipping and getting my ~64oz in.

I'm finding this very difficult. It takes me at least a half hour to eat that 1/2 cup of food and I'm not supposed to drink within 15 minutes of it. Just wondering how you guys managed this? Also, how did you keep track of your consumption?

I'm keeping a chart of the food stuff but an finding it harder to keep track of my liquids.

I put a yogurt in my shakes, and I was only allowed chicken broth and I didn't start chicken broth till a week after surgery, just do what you can, don't push it, it can be very painful it you consume to much
