What does your typical food/water intake look like?

My doc has us eating 5-6 times per day and only 1 oz. I am only in week 4 post-op and supposed to focus on eating foods that don't crunch and don't need to be cut with a knife and fork.

Today my menu is planned as follows:

  • 1 oz Chobani 0% yogurt with Just Great Stuff (like PB2) chocolate Peanut Butter and a few slices of banana mixed in
  • 6 Johnsonville Deli Bites
  • 3/4 oz super thinly sliced buffalo chicken deli meat
  • 1/8 of a spicy black bean patty (about 1/2 oz) and a 1/2 oz of Wholly Guacamole
  • 1 oz shredded imitation crab meat
  • 1 IKEA Swedish Meatball and 6 mini fresh mozzarella pearlines.

I am also still using some Protein supplements to get to 60g:

  • 20 oz: 1/2 Isopure, 1/2 flavored Water
  • 20 oz: 1 cup Pure Almond Unsweetened Almond and Coconut Milk mixed with 1 sample pack of vanilla Bean Torte nectar protein, 1 packet of Orange Crystal Light, and 1 cup of cold water

I've been diagnosed with a potassium deficiency (hence the banana appearing in my diet) and I am required to drink one 20 oz Revive Vitamin Water. I have to mix it one part Vitamin Water to 3 parts water, so I will end up drinking about 80 oz of water on top of my Protein drinks today if I do exactly what I was told to do. As much as I want to stop the light headedness and numb face and fingers, I don't think I can drink that much and still get my food in. I will likely only end up with 40 oz of the water mixture by the end of the day. I was surprised to get a recommendation to drink something that had calories and sugar, but if I can only do half in a day, that's an added 60 calories.
