Had My Surgery Nov 07, 2006

Hi, I am doing great! I wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts. I had no complications and now I have really started my journey! Does protein drinks count as your water?

My dietician say yes, you count the liquid portion as your liquid intake and the protein portion as that intake. You may want to check again but that is how mine was explained to me. I have developed a chart that I will use daily to keep my records up to date as I have to bring with me for my first post op appt. michelle

Michelle, Thank you so very much for your response, it has help me greatly, I have made up my mind to start on the hour and drink my protein and carry a bottle of water around with me. thank you again Chrisy

I was told to count my protein drinks too.

This is some great news to hear, thank you so very much for helping me. Chrisy

Glad to hear you're doing well!!! My Nutritionist says that protein drinks count towards liquids (if they didn't, I'd be screwed...lol). Dana

Thank you so very much for your response, I like you would be totally screwed, I am doing better about my water but it sure is hard to get 64 oz of water in as day. I wont give in though. Chrisy
