K I was wondering how you guys keep your protein and fluids balanced throughout the day with what we eat? I am not on solids yet I am on full fluids still with yogurt and protein shakes...I am hoping some of you will write like a sample menu for a day? I just want to see if I am doing the best I can to get everything in...I know I can't expect to do it all this early but I just want to know if I am making the most of my day...also what is the latest in the day you guys eat or drink? And lastly what are some snacks you might keep in your purses/bags? Thanks so much!

This is the sample menu from my doctor for full liquids

All Clear Liquids are still eligible and any commericial Protein shake can be used if they have about 150 calories or less and at least 15 grams of protein per serving.Milk and fat free cream Soups are added in this phase.

8 am 4-5 ounces herbal tea

9 am 4-5 ounces BariEssential mixed with fat free milk (Protein)

10 am 4-5 ounces Nature's Best Isopure Zero-Carb (Protein)

11 am 4-5 ounces 100% sugar free diluted juice

12 pm 4-5 ounces strained heart healthy cream of chicken Soup (Protein)

1 pm 4-5 ounces BariEssential made with Water and orange Crystal Light mix

2 pm 4-5 ounces Water

3 pm 4-5 ounces Water

4 pm 4-5 ounces Crystal Light or generic

6 pm 4-5 ounces Optifast mixed with water (Protein)

Good luck!

The example diet sheet my dietician gave me for days 4-11 is as follows:

Breakfast - 1 glass of milk (skimmed or semi-skimmed)

Mid-am - 1 glass of milk and 1 small pot of sugar free jelly

lunch - 1 cup of soup and 1 cup of milk

Mid pm - 1 small pot of custard

Evening - 1 Protein shake

Supper - 1 glass of milk.

Unlimited Water

It's now 5.10pm in the uk and I am still on the mid pm custard.

I am taking it very slowly.
