Do I count my Protein Shakes and watery Soups as part of my daily liquid, I am supposed to have 60/60 but not sure how to count it.

I know during my full liquid phase 32 oz were to come from stuff like Water, shakes, Propel, broth, Gatorade Zero, etc. and the other 32 oz from stuff like blended bean Soups, cream soups, milk, yogurt, sugar free pudding, etc.

Do you have any paperwork/a binder with that info for reference that the doc or dietician gave you?

Each doctor's office is different, but Protein Shakes and other pure liquids, like broth or milk (on its own), count towards my liquid goal for the day. So a Protein Shake counts towards both my Protein and liquid goals for the day, which does make meeting them a lot easier right out of surgery. If you have questions about your specific office's plan though, the best thing to do would be to give them a call to clarify.

most clinics do seem to let you count those toward your Fluid intake, but not all. I'm not sure why some of them don't..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
