I was told by my surgeon today if I don't get 64oz of liquid pre day I'll end up back in the hospital. It just feel impossible right now I'm 5 days out.

Getting the Water in is just one of those things you have to do. Commit yourself to sipping all day long and you'll get it in. Some people find sipping out of a shot glass is helpful. Also, remember that your "food" (e.g., broth and the like) also counts as liquid if that helps.

Good luck!

I had a similar situation. I was getting dehydrated fast. But my nut said popcicles, the liquid mixed with Protein power, broth, etc. are considered fluids. So I got creative with all the different flavors of protein. I was nauseous with whey protein but I found ways around gagging with a few flavors by adding frozen berries to some of the flavors mixed with crystal light.

Good Girl - I was going to suggest Crystal Light.

Pre-surgery I would drink almost a gallon of Water per day, before 6pm. NOW- I can't stand the "taste" of Water. The crystal light really helped to get me to drink it. I also drink Peppermint tea when I need something warm, that helps.

Good luck. :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
