How to get all my protein in?
MaryJ2299 replied to wendywitch7's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I would talk to your dietitian or nutritionist. Your doctor is a surgeon. When I read this type of advice from them I just have to wonder.. I would have questioned him about that most definitely. They don’t know everything. my dietitian said 3 meals, 2 snacks. She preferred only one protein shake a day. And drink, drink, drink. good luck -

My journey til surgery was 5 months I didn’t see my surgeon until I had completed all requirements of Medicare. started March 31st had 4 weight ins at my pcp office, a psych eval, a dietitian eval. An orientation at the local hospital. And 2 support meetings. Within 30 days I needed full blood panel, and 2 years of medical history provided by my pcp and a letter of medical clearance. Met with Doctors team leader 1st.. then 5 days later meet with the Doctor on a Tues Aug 8th Asked if fast track was ok … why yes it is. Scheduled me for the following Thursday, August 17. started my liquid diet the next day. I was his last for the day because Medicare required me to stay overnight, everything went great. I’m a week out and started soft food today. Hw 219.5 / Sw 202 / Cw 195.5 / Gw 140 I’m almost 67 and 5’ 2.5”
