tstevens28 9 Posted June 9, 2012 Hi- I see that everyone has different foods they are allowed to start with- but how many grams of Protein are you supposed to get each day? My dr says 60 grams (3 weeks post op). What about you? What of you get 70-80 in? Is that ok?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniec 166 Posted June 9, 2012 My doctor told me 64 grams. I'm sure more won't hurt. What are you doing to get 70-80 grams. I have trouble trying o get 64. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tstevens28 9 Posted June 9, 2012 Stuff like Ground turkey.. Fat free refried beans- turkey breast with fat free gravy- pure protie pre-made choc shakes (23 grams). Syntrax strawberry mousse shake with skim milk (30 grams). Hormel turkey chili.. I can have fruit/veggies for a few more weeks- so it's all protein.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mignonsmom 28 Posted June 10, 2012 Wow. I just started eggs and I get about 45grams of Protein. It is hard the doctor wants me at 60grams. I just do not feel like I am hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tstevens28 9 Posted June 10, 2012 It's hard- it may take me 45-60 min to eat 1/2 cup refried beans.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweet 98 Posted June 10, 2012 I drink one Protein Drink for Breakfast which is 75 grams of Protein. Then thru out the day I try to only eat protein. I try to stay away from empty calories. I will have an egg, an oz. Of cheese, meat or nutts. I usually get in well over 80 grams but I am 16 weeks out already. Goodluck to you guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sweet 98 Posted June 10, 2012 No, they have Isopure powder at the GNC store. Tons of flavors! 50 grams of Protein per serving, which is 2 scoops. But i mix 3 scoops (75grams) with icy cold Water. It's really good. I finally found one I can tolerate ツ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
