I am so confused.....please advise

I am 2 weeks out from rny and am on the pureed stage. I am suposed to alternate eating with liquids and only drink 8oz in each hour between food and liquid,plus wait 30 mins before and after eating to start the liquids. I am struggleing to get in the 64 oz of water and the 4-5 meals I'm supposed to do . If I take a nap I get behind on my schedule. I am constantly thirsty and know I must be a bit dehydrated. How have others managed this, and is a protein shake considered fluid or food.
