Quick Question - Does milk count as a liquid?



Recommended Posts

I am supposed to be drinking 64 OZ of liquid plus the Protein Shake and eating. This is a lot of me. Does the milk in the shake count as a liquid towards the 64 oz goal?

Today, I am 2 weeks post-op. My guidelines say "Fat free or 1% milk can be included as part of your total Fluid intake."

My nut says shake liquids do not count towards the Fluid total, but if you had a glass of milk outside of the shake, it would count. That's just me, tho, others may be different.

Mine states yes. Caffinated tea and coffee do not count on my notes, nor alcohol of course. ;)

All liquids counted for me. Check with your NUT for the best advise for you.

For me no, it doesn't count. I have a goal for both Protein Shakes and fluid/water.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
