So my surgeon and the dietician are telling me contradictory things. My surgeon says I need my protein shakes daily PLUS 64 oz of fluid. The dietician says the protein shakes count as the fluid requirement. I drink 2 shakes a day, which are 11 oz each. If I count that 22 oz, well, then I am reaching my fluid goal. If I don't count that, I'm not. I try to get more fluids in but it's just hard. The surgeon and the dietician are in the same office, but they don't agree with each other. Surgeon doesn't want me to drink decaf tea, and the dietician says it's fine.... What have others been told. Do you protein shakes count as your fluid intake??
