What the He%%$#$ qualifies as a liquid?

Hello all my fellow RNY'ers!

Right, let me get right to it!

What is a "liquid"?

If I drink 32 oz of decaf tea and one cup of skim milk...is any of that a liquid?  Is water "tainted by Crystal Lite a liquid?

 

can only straight up water qualify as a liquid?  Honestly I am not being a smart alec I really am confused by this: liquids, water etc. 

 

I look to all of you as the final and highest authorities!! 

According to my nutritionist, any decaf liquid can count towards you liquids every day including crystal light and milk.  Some people only coun****er, but unless its tea or coffee, I count it.

You may get a variety of answers on this one, but the way I look at it is:  if you can drink it, it's a liquid.  If water tainted by Crystal Light isn't a liquid, then I should be dead of dehydration by now! Kix

And I would burried right next to ya! lol  If I can drink it its a liquid and my doctor actually told me that I didnt have to drink 64 oz of water just 64 oz of no caffein  liquid!  Estelle p.s Honestly I drink alot of caffein and they told me to stop!!!!! lol  

I agree with the other gals.  I was told ALL liquids qualify (even soup broth) BUT.....I'm supposed to make at least 70% of i****er (or water based fluids such as tea or flavored water)  No question is too crazy....keep em coming!! LOL   Jeanine

thanks everyone.  i will drink freely of the liquids and punish myself with plain water no more.  now in a completely unrelated BONEHEADED MOVE.  I couldn't remember the forum i posted this message to. yup that's right BMI over 50 and Luddite! or maybe i am losing brain cells from lack of LIQUIDS!!

My surgeon suggests going on the medifast diet. It is a strictly liquid diet but it has a bunch of protein and vitamins
