From reading all the posts from people who have already had wls...you have to basically sip all day long with a half-hour or so break before and after you eat a meal. There are a lot who actually manage to get in more than this. I bought a bunch of regular and flavored water bottles and plan on taking one with me where ever I go for the most part.

Good luck! Pam

Hi, my surgery is Dec.6 and several people have recommened I drink the protine as a portion of my water/liquids for the day. I have already started buying some to get ready so i can sip on it even in the hospital.

I was told that the 64oz is fluid whether it be water, protein, etc. I was thinking the same thing. How in the world am I going to get protein in AND 64 oz of water.
