From what I have read is 30 grams. Otherwise your body just can not absorb it.

I think the question is more along the line of how many ounces can or should one consume...at 8 weeks, I believe i was between 2 an d4 ounces of anything. the amount really depended on what I was eating. yogurt, 2-3 ounces, Soup i could almost get 4, cottage cheese or any other cheese was closer to 2. you are on the right track. keep it up! :)

I'm almost 6 months post-op and I can still only do between 2 and 4 ounces of meat at a time, depending on what type of meat and how it's prepared.

For eight weeks post op I think you are right on track! Keep doing your best to be the best you!

You are ok with that amount, but i would suggest not hitting the feeling ill point for numerous reasons; develop good habits, dont stretch your sleeve, etc.... Enjoy being full quickly now and dont push it unnecessarily. Remember you are in a honeymoon phase the first 9 months or so. Loose all you can now while ot is easiest.

grams of Protein per meal? 30 grams, more than that your body doesn't absorb it all (as studies say)

ounces of high Protein food? at 8 weeks out 2-3 ounces of meat such as chicken or tuna (which is roughly 30g!)

I think you're on the right track.

And with chicken, for instance, 4oz can give you 23g of Protein.< /p>

I liked to melt a little cheese on top to kick it up to 30g.

But just stop eating as soon as you feel full.

Eat what you can without being uncomfortable.

If it 2-3 oz, it's 2-3 oz!

Do not force anything.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
