Numbergurl37 201 Posted January 2, 2017 My surgeon recommends 60 to 80 grams of Protein daily. Since you arent eating a lot, you should be consuming Protein whether it is powder, liquid, pre made shakes. I use boost because the powder shakes make me sick, I also use Liquid Protein you mix with cold Water and I use mio drops to make it taste better..it almost tastes like kool aid lol. I am shocked your suregon didnt mention protein powder! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnaDmom3 66 Posted January 4, 2017 I am 17 days post op and trying hard to get in 60-70 oz from Protein powder throughout the day. I've used collagen powder in Water for over a year that was suggested for better facial skin and continue to add to my Water. costco also sells it in liquid strawberry-kiwi that you pour into a bottle of water which is pretty good tasting.
