How to get in enough protein? (1 week post op)

[sarahb309 69]

So I am one week post op, still on liquids and I am having the hardest time getting in the 70 grams of Protein I need each day! It just doesn't seem possible! What were some of your experiences?

Immediately after surgery your body is in a major heal mode. Don't be too concerned about reaching your daily Protein requirement in the very beginning. Just keep working towards it and you will get there.

what are you drinking for Protein Shakes? For the first several weeks post op, I drank two shakes a day, and as much Water as I could stomach. My shakes were 30 grams of Protein in one scoop plus the 13 grams of protein in the 8 ounces of milk. 43 grams per 8 ounces of liquid made it much easier to get in my protein every day.

What Protein powder do you use? I am on the search for a good one and have tried a couple by none with 30g of protein.

Premiere One Protein has 30 grams. I buy it from costco. It is a premixed Protein not a powder.

I love Premier Protein, however, my doctor/NUT doesn't want me drinking it the first 6 months... they want me drinking Protein with whey Protein isolate instead of a mixture like Premier has in it. (I believe it has Milk protein first)

Now that being said, lots of doctor's approve Premier. I'm just telling it as my NUT tells me... that we can't absorb as easily.

I drink Bariatric Advantage, New Direction, and Chike. There are other's out there, and I'm going to be on the search once these are gone because I'm getting tired of them LOL

My NUT doesn't want me to drink Premier Protein because they don't have the best kind of protein. I actually don't like them anyway.
