  1. This past Monday I made 7 weeks post-op. Saw my doc and was told my daily portein intake should be 65 grams WITHOUT having to resort to shakes. WTW?!?! I am geting nowhere near that amount. Is anyone else having problems getting enough protein daily? Water? I was told at least 64 oz a day which is approximately 4 bottles of water - you would think that'snot a lot, but I can barely get 3 in a day. Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

      Wow that is a lot of protein if you are not allowed shakes. Some days water is easy others it is hard.

      I have a shake every morning because I go to the gym, but I could hit 60 easily without having shakes. 5 oz of swai fish is 19 grams of protein, at 6 weeks I can eat 5-6 oz at a time. so 3 fillets and I am there, or 2 fillets and some turkey deli meat. You can do it, you just have to plan. I still plan on having a protein shake or 2 a day, but I am trying to get 90-100 grams of protein a day to keep my hair growth going.

      Wow, I'm not there yet, but that does seem daunting. :)
