Topic: RE: How are all the 18ers doing?
I'm a water chugger as well. I am never without a bottle of ice-cold water!
I find getting protein in difficult because I need something to mask the flavor. And I hate sugar-free beverages. I was cleared for flavored shakes today so I'm enjoying a not bad at all Unjury Chocolate Splendor on at the moment. 1 scoop = 21g of protein.
Sorry about the UTI - the whole catheter thing blows. I got my period about 3 days after I got home, so that's always fun.
Can you do yogurt? How about some Greek yogurt? I got the Unjury Strawberry which sounds like a great mix-in.

I was having really bad headaches on the pre-op liquids as well, when i went in for my pre-op appt the nurse said I could have 3-5 crackers with a little bit of chicken a day to help with the carb withdrawl. She seemed more conserned that I was getting enough protien and staying under 130g of carbs then the fact that everything was liquid.
Might be worth calling your MD and see if they say the same thing.
