Am I getting enough protein and vitamins!

[CP3482 55]

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?

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.

What about your Vitamins?

[Nurse Jen 45]

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>

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>

[Nurse Jen 45]

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.
