HOW can u possibly get 60+grams of Protein without supplements??

There's no way you'll be able to get in 60 grams of Protein in at four days out of surgery. The first time I hit my goal of 70 grams was exactly two weeks after surgery. Four days out I was really just focusing on getting my Water in and sips of Protein Drinks every few hours.

I'm a little over 5 weeks out and I'm STILL trying to get this 60g of Protein thing together. It doesn't help that I don't like eggs. It seems to be that everyone is eating eggs & cheese for Breakfast and that packs a lot of protein. I have to do some experimenting to make myself like them. Maaaaaaybe I can try the breakfast bites from eggface's website???

I just posted this same problem in the wrong area! Oops. I too, struggle hard with this. I guess I have a smaller sleeve than others because I cant hold that much at a meal! That would definatelly make it easier! I can barely hold a whole egg. If I add cheese to it or sausage or anything else I can only eat half of it and that defeats my purpose. I can only hold about 1 1/2 oz to 2 oz of chicken or fish. Ughhh this is so frustrating. I am only getting about 400 calories a day on a good day and about 25 to 30 grams of protein.. not even half of what I am supposed to get! HELP!

Hey, there is no 'rule' that you have to eat breakfast food at breakfast time! you can eat whatever you want. I have a child that hates eggs, and likes meatballs for breakfast. Guess what we always have in the fridge ready to nuke for her! She is 4, I hope one day she will decide to like Cereal like the other 2, makes mornings a bit easier, but hey, pick your battles right! You can eat what ever you want for breakfast. Make up little bowls of meat and cheese with sauce to heat and go, or chicken wraps (chicken in cheese). how about meat roll ups! there are so many things you can make that are easy to do as an on the go meal, if that is what you need. Yogurt is good to, just watch the carbs.

Oh guys I am struggling too!! And some of the Protein amounts on the foods mentioned above and way more than I am seeing on the same items I have looked at!! I am lucky to get 2 ounces of solid food in at a time.

It is easier the futher out you go because you are able to eat more. Try doing 15-20g at each meal! That will get you there.

Here is my typical day at almost 2 months out:

Egg Beaters (1/2 cup=2 servings), Colby 5-% reduced fat cheese & deli ham for Breakfast = 29 grams Protein

snack - Greek Yogurt (14g) & Laughing Cow mini light cheese wedge (3g) = 17g

lunch - 1 cup Hormel Turkey Chili w/ reduced fat cheese = 26 g

Afternoon snack - 1/2 banana with 2 tbs Peanut Butter = 8 g

dinner - chicken thigh = 18g with some sort of veggie - usually broccoli (3g) = 21g

Total for day is 101 grams - it adds up pretty quick. Chili has been one of my favorite things - it is a bit high in sodium but I try not to eat high sodium during the rest of the day and that helps.

Hope this helps!
