1.5 2 liters?

[lexi181 3]

So this is my 3rd day out from surgery and my Dr said I can do whole liquids ex Protein shakes juices Water Soups. But I don't understand how I'm supposed to get 2 liters of Fluid in me a day when It takes me 3hrs to finish 1 8oz Protein shake.

I know it sounds cliched, but you have to sip constantly throughout the day and be militant about it. The food stages are really a full-time job for the first several weeks. That is why I took six weeks of medical leave from work after my surgery.

Sip, sip, sip. Tiny sips ALL DAY LONG. Aim for 1 oz. every 15 minutes. Two hours is actually about right for an 8 oz. Protein Shake. If you can get in 4 oz. per hour and you are awake 16 hours a day, then you get in your 64 oz. for the day.

Sip all day long and in the night too if you wake. You really don't want to be dehydrated on top of recovering from surgery.

Congratulations on the surgery!
