Liquid in take?

does my morning coffee and protein shake count towards my liquid intake?

I was told 64 oz of clear liquids in addition to the protein shakes. So I get in over 100 oz of liquid. Coffee is a diuretic and really should be avoided. Plus caffeine causes gastric secretions that might make you feel hungry.

My protein and if I were to have caffiene free coffee would count, on my surgeon's plan.  I would suggest checking your info packet or calling the office.  OR if you can get liquids down easily, just go above and beyond, it's not going to hurt to have more than enough liquids.

What Deckeriv said.  But I still drink coffee; I cannot & won't give it up!!  I don't drink excessive amounts, just a couple cups a day but even my protein shake is iced coffee so I do count the 8 ounces of water I add to it but not the 8 ounces of unsweetened almond milk.

my plan counts  the protein shake and my nut says caffeine  is so mild a diuretic that it is no problem , If you are getting 100 oz of liquids you are doing great

I don't count coffee or my protein shakes as fluids...in the beginning I counted shakes because they were literally protein powder with almond milk and water.  Now I throw all kinds of stuff in them and they are more smoothie like in consistency...
