Tomorrow I start my full liquid diet and have to start getting in my daily dose of protein (50 grams).  I'm so worried about getting it all in.  I bought the low carb slimfast shakes (they were on the list of protein supplements) but I'm not for sure how I am going to drink 3 of those a day.  They are 11 oz each and well - you know - my stomach only holds 2 ounces!  Need some tips! Thanks all.

Renee, You wont be drinking....You will sip, sip, sip!!!! It does sound like a lot considering the size of you pouch. But with sipping all thru the day, you will manage to get in more than you think. And even with sipping you might not get all three in right off the bat but you will work up to it. The best thing to do it to do it a few ounces at a time and drink every so often. You will work up to being able to get more in at a time Hang in there your going to do great!!!  Luv & Hugs...Tammy~ammy

liquid sits differently than solid too.It won't be as hard as you think. I remember panicking because I could drink so much without a problem, and  I thought I strtched my pouch.
