Measuring

Should I be measuring intake during full fluid stage? I can "drink" a whole can of Campbell low fat soup made with water and blended in magic bullet. It does take me about 20 minutes to drink it all, but get worried when people say they can only take in half a cup. Should limit my soups and yogurts?

I measured because it was important to know so I could meet my protein and water goals. I pretty much sipped all day when I was on liquids. I don't think you would need to limit your fluids.

Ya I track my protein, vitamins and water with fitness pal. I just wondered if I should feel pouch restriction with full fluids.

8 weeks out. My full liquid stage was only days 1-3 post op. I was instructed beginning day four to have two shake meal replacements and one puréed protein meal. I was told to weigh that purée meal on a kitchen scale working up to 4oz over a 10 day period. It took me two weeks to be able to reach that quantity and I was getting in only about 30-40 oz of water each day at that point.

i measure out everything too, even my fluids so i can keep track. check in with your nutrionist and see what they say, i am on puree and cant have soup until stage 2, im looking forward to it!, have a sip for me :lol:
