Puréed stage...what's the priority?

[FabFemale 233]

Should I be worried about Protein? Calories? Eating on a regular schedule?

I'm doing 2 Protein shakes a day adding oikos triple zero yogurt to them to get in my 60+g of protein.

Then having eggs, cottage cheese, or refried Beans in between.

And getting in 48+oz of Water

[Bufflehead 6,358]

The rules from my team during puree were:

3 meals per day, no more than 3 T. of food per meal

All food must be high Protein - meat, eggs, fish, dairy, Beans, small amounts of nut butters

No Snacks other than Protein Shakes

Minimum 75 grams of protein per day

Maximum 60 carbs per day

Maximum 800 calories per day

Weigh/measure all food and record in an online food journal such as myfitnesspal.

Your team may have a different plan or set of rules -- you would probably want to check in with them? Every practice is different.

Protein and Water are priority. Try getting more than 64oz of liquids. Did your Nutritionist give you a diet plan? Some are different in the # of times to eat.

Yes I have a guide to follow. Thanks. Nothing about calories was mentioned. 64 oz of liquids.

Protein and Water for sure. Puree is mainly the healing stage.

60-80g Protein, MINIMUM 64oz fluids and at least 10,000 steps/day were the only priorities I was ever given by my surgeons office. No calorie, fat or carb goals. Excellent plan as I lost over 100% of my excess weight and have maintained over 1 1/2 years,

Protein and fluids. Your first and foremost priority every day, no matter what phase you are on, should be getting at least 64 oz of Fluid and meeting your protein target. Every day.

Both fluids and protein are critical for healing and for weight loss.
