So I read it a million times in my book, but is it normal that I could only take in one protein shake 25mg and about 1000ml of water. I did get all my vitamins in. I did come back at 1pm from Ottawa, so maybe if I start hearly tomorrow I'll do better. My question is that how you guys progress! I'm I doing ok!

Yes Many of us take a while to achieve our goals. but I'd suggest you cut back on the water in order to get another shake in. The shakes will provide protein AND will hydrate you :/)

Welcome home Brigitte and Happy Mother`s Day.

Read page 26 of the Your Meal Planner book. Near the bottom of the page, it indicates that on the Full Fluid Sample Menu:

Total fluids: 1000ml to 2000 ml. per day

Estimated protein: 30-65 grams per day.

So you are doing pretty good. for being only half a day home. It does get better each day.
