You need AT LEAST 64 oz of Fluid and to reach your protein target every day. My protein target is 100 grams. I can count all (non carbonated, non caffeinated) fluids toward my daily goal. So, in your case the milk would count toward both your protein and fluid goals. But, it doesn't sound like you are getting nearly enough of each. Why type of post-op nutrition guidance were you given?

So Sorry SwampBillies it's just a Restaurant called Sonic and their ice is tiny almost the size of hospital ice but even smaller so I buy it by the bag and just eat it with a spoon as well as let it melt some so it's not so much on my teeth

Oh OK....I thought they would have a sugar free flavored syrup to put on it since they have so many other flavors.....Who is doing their menu planning anyway!? LOL....I will try it and maybe just get some sugar free something on my own to put on it...Thanks for the tip!

Try the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates over crushed ice. I used them a lot, especially during my clear phase, to get in my Protein.
