Confused on quantity of liquids

[jmccarty 9]

So I am confused. My plan says no more than 2-5oz of liquid at a time, but I need to get at least 64 ounces of liquids down including my 45-60 grams of Protein.

How do I only have 2 ounces at a time but also meet my goals? Anyone else having this confusion?

I just listen to my body. At the start of each stage I've had a hard time getting the proper amounts in but towards the end of the stage it all works out. I'm struggling right now on my 5th day with mushy foods. I feel so full all day long and I've been 10-20oz/grams down from goal. I can't believe how few calories I'm getting in and still feeling ok.

I do believe that the 2-5oz is for meals. For me it included Protein Shakes, Kiefer, Bone Broth, Jello, ect. I set a timer though for my fluids until it became a habit. Fluids would include Water, caffeine free tea, crystal light, ect. I sipped my drink every 3-5mins. I suppose you could drink 2-5oz every 15 mins if you wanted. I found it easier to sip more frequently.

My post op plan is no more than 2 ounces every 15 minutes but my total liquid is 64 like you. I was told it might take a few weeks to even get to that total, which it has. But they told me to count all liquids towards the total goal. So I add all my liquids to reach try to reach the 64 total ounces and I try to get as much protein in (still haven't gotten more than 50 in a day)
Hopes this helps...just keep sipping!

2oz in 15 minutes. Ok that makes more sense. I thought they meant per meal. Like only have 2oz of your Protein Shake for Breakfast. Basically just spread it out over a longer time period
