Starting Regular Diet

[aleyampat 22]

I know that each of our surgeons have different plans of attack and rules. I'm wondering what amounts of Protein were each of you to target when eating a regular diet?

60-80g/day... It's difficult

60 grams or more. Drinking a Protein Shake thing in the am helps me. I use the nectar ones. They have 23 grams of Protein and mix it with 8 oz skim milk. 32 grams out the way 1st thing in the morning. I'd morning I have. Scrambled egg with a little over a Tablespoon of cheese. Thats 9 more grams. Greek yogurt also has a lot if protein. Deli thin slices turkey by oscar mayer has 9 grams for 6 slices. String cheese has about 6-7 grams. Hope this helps.

My dietitian said that we were supposed to try to get in 75-100grams of Protein each day. That seems pretty steep, but I am going to try my best once I have surgery!

Protein mixes are a great way and if you can handle them mixed with Water then u get hydration and protein

I've heard mixing the fuzzy navel with crystal light is good.

How long does it take you to drink an 8 oz shake? Right now that would take me all morning!

I haven't tried them with Water only skim or almond milk. Skim milk has more Protein than almond milk.
