I'm confused about the protein



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone I'm very confused about Protein. You are supposed to get 65 mg a day but the sample menus don't show 65 mg. what am I missing?

Thanks

Jen

My surgeon wants 60 gr a day and my dietician helped with a plan the only time I don't get the 60 gr is after a fill when on liquids. Can you ask to see a dietician?

I am totally brand new with this so I haven't gone into the office yet. I figure the first few weeks I could have more Protein Shakes. That's my goal anyways

After liquids my dr is not an advocate of protien. shakes. he prefers I get my protien from food. I think it's all way too confusing to try to remember how many grams of protien i am supposed to have so he made it really simple. Eat 3 oz of protien at each meal.... Protien is fish, chicken, eggs, tuna, pork, beef, beans....look on the Internet for thousands of lists of what constitutes protien. He said if I did that on a daily basis and took my multi Gummy Vitamin I wouldn't have any issues...and I haven't. Maybe ask your dr or NUT what he thinks.

I like this! I always try to count the Protein grams and it drives me crazy trying to get to the magical 60. I am going to start doing this. Then I will not stress over not getting the amount needed.

Taking it one day at a time.
