Question about tracking

[lisafrommassachusetts 319]

I understand that I cannot count Protein Drinks toward the Fluid total, even if they are made by me with Water. Today I had some BariLife Cream of chicken Soup, which comes in a packet and you mix it with water. I added a little more than one cup of boiling water; it was really a thin broth like soup, not creamy. Can I count that toward my fluids? I would think so. I am having a huge amount of trouble getting the fluids in, and I think it may be because I am drinking at least one shake a day, and the other foods I am allowed at this point are all kind of soupy....Egg whites, cream of wheat, cottage cheese, etc.

I counted the Water added to Protein drinks

I count them toward my Fluid intake, too. The only thing I don't count is caffeinated coffee.

@ms.sss and @catwoman7 Thank you! I think this will make my life a lot easier!

My nutritionist said to count any Fluid with Protein towards both.
