How many ounces of water/protein...

[NotWishWhen512 31]

Were you getting in during thise first days out of surgery? I know everyone is different, but I have a hard time with "just do what you can" mentality. I'm 3 days post-op and as of 1:00 pm I've had 15oz of Water and 8oz of Protein. Does that seem like the norm?

Thank you!

Who measures Protein in ounces? I don't even know what that means.

As for how much I was getting post-op, I barely got in any Protein until I was allowed to start having Protein shakes again 7 days post op. Prior to that I was only allowed broth and Jello the first few days (obviously not a ton of protein in those) and I was allowed drinkable yogurt a couple of days post-op, but that only has about 4 grams per serving and I couldn't even finish a whole serving. Day 7, when I could drink Protein Shakes, was the first time I probably got around 60 grams in and it was weeks before I was able to get my nutritionist-recommended 85-100 grams in.

As for Water, it took me a week and a half to two weeks before I could get the full 64 oz. in. In the first couple of days I maybe managed 40 oz. and that was sipping pretty much non-stop during all of my waking hours.

Grams of Protein is what I meant. Sorry.
