How Much Protein On Pre-Op

[kstalvey 15]

How much Protein should I be taking in on the pre-op diet I was told 5 shakes or bars a day and one meal but no amount of grams of protein was mentioned. My surgeon is Dr. Nicholson in Texas. Advice Please!!!

I have the same surgeon and there are no specific preop Protein requirements..The goal is less then 1200 calories and less than 120 grams of carbs.

Did you get the folder with about 45 pages in it at your appointment with Dr. Nick?

Amy I did get the folder but like you said nothing told me how much Protein. When are you scheduled I'm June 5th I have to wait until school is out cause I teach. Everyone keeps talking about getting a lot of protein in so what is too much.

I even saw the nutritionist and she told me not to worry about it. Just follow what they say and I will be fine.

I just rescheduled today for June 5th too. How cool. I would love to have a sister sleeve buddy off the boards too. If you are interested in chatting, my email is amyh@tx.rr.com. I will give you my number off line. BTW, where do you live?
