So even though I'm able to eat again, I'm still having trouble getting my 80oz in so I'm going back to basics for a few days to try and correct the dehydration issues. My face is so freaking dry I look like I have eczema or something!

Anyhoo, I know yogurt, popsicles, and Jello all count towards my 80oz, but what other solids do? If I can't drink my liquids I can dang sure eat 'em!

im facing the same issue, eating slows down hydration and protin intake, so ive only had on "foody" item a day, yesterday it was thin cream of wheat....

You can puree black bean Soup, which is great Protein, and even lighten the consistency some with some additional chicken broth. Or, just add chicken powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.

I did a lot of homemade Soups during my liquid phase, all with the nutritionist's blessing that they counted towards my liquid intake.

Also, if you are allowed and want coffee, I mix a serving of chocolate muscle milk with 8 - 12 oz coffee each morning (16g protein). Later I have 12 oz Crystal Light with a scoop of strawberry sorbet Unjury (20g protein). Almost all my liquids do "double duty" as ways to get in protein, except for my Powerade Zero, to which I add my Benefiber.

Plain Water, I am having a hard time with that.

Plain water makes me instantly nauseous

It isn't making me nauseous but how unappealing! It didn't used to be that way.

I was told that a liquid was anything that becomes waterlike at room temperature. So this would include Jello, popsicles

Although you should not use a straw... I was told any thing that sits out and that could be sucked through a straw is a liquid.
