No matter what I do, I can't get the 70 grs of protein and 65 oz of liquid .... is this going to keep me from loosing weight ?  I maybe get in 30 to 50 protein a day and maybe if lucky 12 oz of liquids.

What, exactly, are you eating and why can't you get in more?  Only 12 ounces of fluids is definitely going to hinder your loss and will probably put you back in the hospital due to dehydration.

When was your surgery and what kind of surgery did you have?

You are damaging you kidneys and organs if you aren't drinking enough liquids.

I am in the same boat as you. I am getting in liquid just not protein. GwenMo is right about the dehydration, I was not getting in enough liquids in and I was hospitalized. So def get liquid. Protein I am not completly sure about.

How did you know you didn't get enough liquids ? I saw the doctor yesterday because I was dizzy and felt like I wasn't drinking enough, she said it sounded like it but told me to drinking more ... this was my PC not the doctor that did the surgery, I see him next week.

Definitely up the water intake, can you tolerate protein shakes? You can add more water if it's too thick, or try adding unflavored protein to your food, not sure what "unflavored protein" in water tastes like, but you can put it in soy milk/almond milk etc instead. Get tha****er up!, if you're still having issues see your dr., you don't want to end up in the hospital.
