Just wondering

[anna9/15 93]

Is the whole Fluid and protien requirement so high early out to heal? Or life long. .once the honeymoon phase is over and you may forget to measure and just drinj and eat daily..are you always at risk for dehydration if you dont have the min required

[VSGAnn2014 12,992]

Lifelong.

And 60 mg. Protein is not "high."

Neither is the Fluid requirement of 64 ounces "high."

That's just a healthy nutritional recommendation.

Once again -- it's only hard to get down early on. It won't be hard later on as you continue to heal.

You will eventually want to come off the Protein shakes so that you are getting your Protein from solid foods that produce satiety and fend off hunger. Once you can have mushy or solid, you should emphasize those sources of protein, and only use the shakes if you are not getting enough or need to restart weight loss after a stall. The liquid Protein is a proven stall-buster.

The other thing that is lifelong is the separation of Water and solid food. The game is to get all your Water despite the fact that you can't drink it with your meals.

Yes, it's lifelong. To be healthy you need enough Protein and Water daily because our bodies don't store Protein and always need to replenish Water.< /p>

I don't know about you, but looking back, I think a major reason I was obese was because I was starved for both protein and water.

I use MyFitnessPal. Just about everything you can think of is already listed. If not, you can usually find something similar. It really isn't that hard.

If it's a chain restaurant MFP likely has listings for it.

10,000 step is recommended activity level for an able body person. Many wear fitness trackers to reminds themselves to move.
