Question...Why can't we count our protein shakes towards are liquid?? I have been doing this...since the beginning..am I wrong? Joanie

I guess it depends on your surgeon. But, I always count my protein shakes towards my liquid. Kathy Bilodeau Lap RNY 12/3/03 -98 lbs.

Joanie: I do count my protein shakes as liquids but since I take in so little fluids other than that I keep track of them separate. I need to work up to at least 64 oz. I am lucky if I get in 24-48oz. Chryssie

Chryssie, I still have a problem with getting fluids in 2 months post op. I think counting the protein drink is correct for me. I have actually gone to Carb Countdown choc milk mixed with half skimmed milk...so that gives me 16 g of protein. I am noticing the scale moving faster going over the 60g of protein. The problem is keeping low fat and low calories... Joanie
