first day back from hospital, 3 days post op!

Hi Brigitte,
I am a newbie too and I am taking in 1/3 cup protien shake as part of every meal before I 'eat' my full fluids.  This enables me to get 2 cartons of the premier shake in each day which is 60 grams of protein.  any protein that I can add with my full fluids are then a bonus.  I also sip water through the day and seem to average about 1000mls of that as well. 
It sounds like you are doing really well!  Congrats and welcome to the bench :)
