I am starting what my surgeon calls the modified regular diet for one week then its on to the rest of my life eating. I am eating up to 4 oz per meal and doing well with a variety of healthy high protein foods.  

My question is do I need to limit my shakes to 4 ounces or are they considered liquids?  

So close to 50 pounds lost......

Shakes are liquids. It is Ok to have a little more assuming it is not causing issues.

Wow, you're doing good for 3 weeks post-op! Congratulations. Shakes are considered liquids. I'm 7 weeks post-opt and still supplementing 1 protein shake a day to reach my goal of protein daily. I can barely get 2-1/2 oz per meal. Guess I'm still healing!

I am so glad to hear that shakes are considered liquids.  Since being dehydrated a couple of weeks ago I am still concerned that I am not getting enough liquids in.  Glad to know that I am doing better than I thought I was.

Subway sandwiches are not though. Drink more shakes. Eat less Subway. 

 

Good Job OP for taking this seriously!
