Just curious. I see my dietitian on thursday, I'll ask her then for me personally. But did they for you? Did you count your protein shakes towards your 64+ 80+ however many oz your dr required you to drink, a day?

Mine counted as a new post op---up to maybe 6 weeks. While it's harder to reach fluid goals.
But after that---protein shakes were/are extra that I don't count as a fluid..

I counted them when I was doing clear drinks, but now that I can get my water down a little easier I don't count them.

I could only count 16oz of my protein shakes toward my 64oz liquid requirement per day. I'm 6.5 months out now and I still drink an 8oz protein shake in the AM and I count it towards my liquid intake, but I usally drink far beyond the 64oz, so its a non-issue currently.

Mine did not and they're not allowed on our post-op diets after 4 weeks out either so I've had to give them up mostly except for trying to use all of them up.

yes - according to my doctor's plan. My requirement is 60 g protein, 30 g carb and 64 oz fluid/day.
