Protein shakes count as Water, per RD.

Every bariatric program is different and the RD for the program will go by their program’s guidelines. Mine says it doesn’t count, as do many unfortunately. I can only intake about 3 ounces of anything in a 20 to 30 minute time frame and then I am full. I would be drinking 24 hours a day to get it all in, so I do what I can. I added soft Protein this week tho, but still only get 3 ounces down of anything.

I had trouble getting all Protein and Water in right after surgery. I got protein water that counted for both things. If you like coconut, Cocotein is a great one and you can get it on Amazon or lucky Vitamin. Isopure waters have a ton of protein too, but they do have an odd taste due to the whey protein in them. They have 40 grams per bottle. I got these on Amazon too.

Every nurse is different...same as every doctor is different. I finally just bought a lemon sliced some pieces off and made my own flavored water so I wouldn't have to buy them. Right now I am down to 2 Protein Shakes a day to get in my 60g because I am getting sick of them.
