That's interesting. We have never had that presented on this site, at least in the 6 years I've been here. My docs at Moffitt told me 2500 cals a day which in liquid form equaled appx 48 ozs and they said to drink 48 ozs of water so when I went to a strickly liquid diet I was consuming (on a good day) 96 ozs. Now I was only 150 at the beginning of Tx and they never mentioned my weight as part of their recommendation but of course that doesn't mean it didn't figure in.
So my interest is where did you hear that formula?
