marynoel 12 Posted September 16, 2013 I had my surgery on August 19. Was also feeling pretty tired. Now that I am at the pureed/soft stage. ...I have been eating a lot of fish....it's soft. I had crabcakes, flounder, bluefish. I eat what I can and have the rest later...until it's gone. And I feel so much better. I just worry about getting my protien and Water in. I have no idea how many grams I am getting. I just know my energy level has so improved! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcn1970 239 Posted September 18, 2013 Well, if you have to just drink 3 protien shakes a day at 30gr of Protein each. That will put you at 90. Then strategize your meals to add another 40 grams. As you get better at this start to replace protien rich meals for 1 of those shakes. Remember, you don't need a big drawn out protien shake. I mix a 30 gr scoop of protien with 6 ounces of Water and slam it I do that first thing every morning and after every workout. Start the day with a good count.

wcn1970 239 Posted September 18, 2013 Another good method I still employ is the ISO RTD bottles. I mix that with about 40 ounces of Water and drink all afternoon. Makes the water less boring and adds another 40 grams of Protein a day. Just my morning shake, work out shake and the ISO with my water I am at 100 grams a day alone.
