tink65 46 Posted December 21, 2012 Make sure you get all your Water in, along with your Protein Drink, aim to drink 60-75g of Protein and about 68 oz that would be 4 to 6 oz each hour (Sugar free ice cream pops, Decaf ice tea, broth) It's. Not easy with that small Tummy but it must be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakawaka 108 Posted December 21, 2012 I find it is not a problem to get all my Water in. I just sip all day long. But I'm not able to get in all my Protein. I find sweet stuff (those pre-op protein shakes) to no longer be tolerable. But I am making sure to stay hydrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lolawaiting 83 Posted December 22, 2012 I asked my docs assistant if broth counts to my Water or the water in my shakes or Jello and she said no, my water needs to be on top of those things, but that doesn't seem right to me. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tink65 46 Posted December 22, 2012 Clear liquid 0-3 days hydration is very important. What you can have. Water, Isopure, Crystal light, Diet Snapple, broth, Decaf Tea/ coffee, Propel water, SF Popsicle/ Jello and Ice chips. My coordinator said Isopure does not count as a Liquid.. sheez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tink65 46 Posted December 22, 2012 Go figure it has on thr Isopure as a liquid. But I guess not as a Hydration liquid ( but more like liquid meal) ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted December 23, 2012 Isopure does count. my surgeon and NUT both says so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jodimc 117 Posted December 23, 2012 Thank God. Because all I'm able to get down is 1 20oz Isopure a day. I know that isn't enough, but I'm working on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
