Mattymatt 491 Posted March 18, 2018 Do Protein Shakes count towards both liquid and Protein goals? I cannot remember.Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeve1stFitNext 924 Posted March 18, 2018 Hmmm. That is a good question. I believe they only apply towards Protein. I could be wrong though. I only apply them to Protein as they make me feel dehydrated at times. 1 logicwand reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattymatt 491 Posted March 18, 2018 It does feel like the Protein is drying me out too.Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeve1stFitNext 924 Posted March 18, 2018 Yeah, I would feel really thirsty after drinking one. I think its due to the Protein. I just wait 30 minutes and then drink Water. 2 MyMojosBack and atphiladephia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Protein Drinks counts toward liquid. But like many, my RD wanted an additional 36oz just from clear liquids--not counting the Protein drinks. But no issues for me, cuz I was doing 64oz per day by day 2 out of the hospital. And, I love Water, so no issues there...

I cannot remember.Sent from my Z981 using BariatricPal mobile appI was told the Water or skim milk you use in your shake counts but the other ingredients don’t. So I’m you make a 12 oz shake that has yogurt and Protein Powder and 8 oz of Fluid, you would count just the 8 oz. Broths count as liquids as do sugar free popsicles. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted March 18, 2018 LOL, at the point where Matty is, I was only doing Premier Protein, so it was a 1 and done. I've not graduated to "complex" shakes yet--but hope to get the green light for frozen spinach and fruit smoothies again! Can't wait to make Dr. Weiner's set point smoothie!
