CP3482 55 Posted December 31, 2012 Ok...I'm confused as hell! My dietitian is saying I should get enough Protein in one swerving? I counted and I'm only getting 21grams! That's not enough!! Should I start doing two Protein Shakes a day vs one? Also when did you all start your Vitamins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nurse Jen 45 Posted December 31, 2012 I did two a day, I used the Premier Protein shakes. I bought mine at SAM's club. They are 30 grams a piece. Now I do one shake and one Protein Bar to get 60 grams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP3482 55 Posted December 31, 2012 What about your Vitamins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nurse Jen 45 Posted December 31, 2012 I take two Flinstones Vitamins a day, one morning and one and night. I take 1500 mg of calcium citrate a day. I space those out two hours a apart and two hours from my vitamins and your boost can only absorb 500 mg at a time and your vitamins will block the absorption if the Calcium.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CP3482 55 Posted December 31, 2012 My dietitian didn't inform me enough! I haven't even started my multivitamin!! I have them, but nowhere in my paper work does it say to start taking them right after surgery. I know he wants me to wait two before I start taking my Calcium and B12.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nurse Jen 45 Posted December 31, 2012 I didn't start my Vitamins again until I was two weeks post op, you start them back when you go on the purée diet which is stage 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
