sheliss 44 Posted April 25, 2017 I'm 1 week post-op and struggling with fluids. Is the 64 oz just Water? Or do Protein Shakes and other liquids (tea, diluted juice, soup) get to be included in this number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted April 25, 2017 All fluids, Protein Drinks, tea, broth, all of it. if you can get the Water in on top of those, great, but if not they count too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xoxococojay 842 Posted April 26, 2017 My dr said the same thing. Water and Protein Shakes all count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
