I just don't see how there is enough time in the day to get in the 48-64oz of water along with another 100g of protein. How on earth do you do it? Can I count my liquid protein into my other liquids?

My surgeon and nutritionist say I can count it towards liquids. Again every surgeon is different though.

Yes, those shakes totally count towards your liquid count! So does the jello and broth.

Well that's a relief! I put off taking a nap because I needed to be awake to drink more lol. So that means I'm a lot closer to my liquid goals than I thought. YAY!

I only need to get in 64 gr protein in per day and I find that hard. You sure about the 100 grams???

My dr said you may get 60 grams of protein but your not actually absorbing 60...I'm trying to get to 80....I have added salted peanuts to my day and make sure that each time u do eat , I get at least 20 grams

Try egg whites as a way to help you get your goal in. You just add it to your drink and you never know that it's in there. I add mine to my powerade and turn a 0g drink into about 50g protein drink. Each pump is 3.3g of protein. So you can add as little and as much as you want. You don't taste. Make sure it is double pasteurized egg white and not what you get at the grocery store. Also when you add it to your drink stir your drink don't shake.

Yup, 100g a day. Got it in the packet info they gave me. So far I am making it to about 60-70. But, up until yesterday I thought I had to count liquids and protein separately. Should be fine now that I understand better. Thanks all!
