First week or two post-op...how much protein did you/are you getting in?

I'm 6 days post op. Have no problem getting all my Water down, but still getting just 30-40 grams of Protein. How about everyone else?

Hi, 7 days post op for me. I could get about 50oz Water and 2-4 oz of the liquid shakes about 4-5 times a day. Not enough protein! Nut says liquid shakes count as liquids, so swapped out same amt of water for three Atkins rtd shakes and voila! 45 more grams of Protein. Also picked up unflavored Protein powder to mix into whatever I am trying to get down. Good in cream Soup, and sugar free fat free puddings so far.

Mix Protein with liquid trying to kill two birds with one stone. My average is about 60 gms protein, trying hard to get another 20 in though. Would mix with cream Soup, yogurt, sf pudding etc can only have 2 tablespoons, so can't get a full 20 gms.

I had no problem getting my 64 gram of Protein in a day..... made my Protein Shake with low fat milk to get that extra boost of protein as well. Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip, sip.......

I still seem to be in the mind set I have to drink Clear Liquids, so thanks BBdoodle for making me rethink what the heck. So later will fix a chocolate, almond milk, with some greek yogurt and make a smoothie. My doctor wants between 70-80 gms of protein. Right now I'm drinking 34 oz of crystal light and protein and sipping that takes hours.
