Hi Everyone,

Should I consentrate more on getting my protein in more than water? So far, for today I have 165cc of protein drink and 180cc water.

Take Care,
Mary

 Hi Mary 

In the first 2 weeks post-op, water is your #1 priority with protein being a very close second. After about the 2 week mark, those priorities flip. 

I don't know the translation of cc's in relation to your intake. Protein is normally measured in grams -- for instance 60g of protein per day is your current goal for the amount of protein you eat/drink. And water is measured in ounces --- you should be aiming for 64 ounces of water per day.

So glad your surgery went well! 
Water...sip, sip, sip and protein try for at least 60g of it for now.
