Post Surgery Protein

[katniss 1]

This may be a dumb question, and I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I had my surgery a little over a year ago and I'm wondering if getting in a lot of Protein is still a big priority, or if that becomes less important the further along you go? And if so, does anyone have any quick & easy (and especially cheap, I'm on a tight budget) ideas for getting in protein? After a year, I'm getting a little sick of the same few things I've stuck to and I'd like to change it up. I really did not like the protein powders that they recommended in the beginning, so that's not really an option for me. Thank you in advance!

I only know the answer to the first half of your question because it came up in my pre op class. Your Protein can be reduced based on height/weight on e you reach goal, but there will always be a minimum required amount. I'm 5'3"" and my range is 63-78, but anybody my height and shorter, the minimum will always be 63g/protein. So I will be aiming for 3 oz. lean protein 3x a day to avoid shakes.< /p>
