rocknrollmama1980 20 Posted October 14, 2013 I am 3 days post op and managed to get in 90 grams I Protein today. I started at 5am and got in half a premade shake which I finished at lunch. In between I had 8oz of milk. I then had some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth. For dinner I had a Protein Shake made with milk that pushed me up to 90. Is this not normal? I don't want to screw up my surgery. Was anyone else able to hit this 3 days out?

Andi 78 Posted October 14, 2013 A lot of folks struggle getting their Proteins & fluids in for a while after surgery. You need the Protein to heal. Just make sure that you're not pushing yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catherine707 253 Posted October 14, 2013 Sounds like you are doing a great job following the doctors recommendations and getting your Protein first! How are you doing on Water intake? Your body will heal faster with a high protein diet, so it sounds like you are doing great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was anyone else able to hit this 3 days out? I was able to hit all my Protein goals and liquids goals right after surgery, so don't worry, you're not odd! Good job and keep it up...and walk, walk, walk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocknrollmama1980 20 Posted October 14, 2013 I am at 90 for Protein and 10oz away from 65 ounces of Water. I was worried bc I do t really feel full exactly. I'm happy to hear others have hit the goals though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm happy to hear others have hit the goals though. I was able to get to that level by the 4th day after surgery. Don't worry about not feeling full. That is normal. You won't really get to feeling full until you get to the stage in your diet where you are eating things that are more solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
