Can anyone please tell me how many grams of Protein in reccommended per day on the liquid diet? I was told I could have up to 4 shakes per day, but did not know how much protein I should aim for.

Thanks so much!

Call your doc and ask. It varies from doctor to doctor. For example, the 1st week post op we don't even GET Protein Shakes.< /p>

At least 60 grams. I was told to drink 2 oz at a time and by the end of the 2nd week could get up to 6 oz but not to force it.

Mimilou, hasn't your surgeon given you info? They are all different...

After I ignored my surgeon's preop orders and had a fatty liver and couldn't get banded on 8/11 like I thought, I realize it is WAY important to do what your surgeon says..

I am over eager and haven't been to the classes yet. Banding not til Oct 7th. I am just trying to get ahead of the curve and decrease my anxiety by trying most of the things mentioned on LBT!!!

My doctor said at least 72 grams. I heard about the "cytosport pure performance drink" on this site. It has 40 grams of whey Protein and comes in tangerine, watermelon, and tropical. (I never thought I'd say this but I'm sick of chocolate!) The cheapest place I found it was online at wholesalesupplementstore dot com. It is also supposed to be carried at Target and Kroger grocery, but I haven't been able to find it in the stores.

I was told 60-80 grams per day. I have a very hard time getting it all in! The drinks I like are 20 grams, but I can only drink half at a time, so I am drinking shakes 6 times a day!

It's difficult but you have to do it!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
