Am I doing this right? Liquid diet

I just started my liquid diet today and I already feel like I'm doing it wrong ???? My meal replacement powder says one serving is 8 ounces of water and 2 scoops of powder. Well, for some reason the 8 ounce mark on the shaker/mixer/tumbler thingy doesn't look like much at all. Doesn't seem like 8 ounces. I'm only allowed 5 shakes a day...which equals out to 800 calories. Do anyone else's servings seem real little? Obviously I know I'm not going to be drinking 5 huge shakes, I just am second guessing myself at every opportunity and need reassurance.

8 ounces is not very much. A normal coffee mug holds 10-12 ounces. 8 ounces is more like a tea cup.

If you want to use more Water, you can. Water has no calories and there is certainly no harm in drinking more of it!

If you blend the 8 ounces with a bunch of crushed ice it makes a lot more then 8 ounces. Drink slowly - if you can supplement in between these shakes a sugar-free popsicle or Jello do so. Remember after a few days...never trust a fart because the liquid needs to come out eventually.
