5 Days Post Op, How much protein a day?

How much should I be consuming! I'm weak... Starting Isopure and liquid B-12 today. Been only doing broth and sugarfree jello and Popsicles

60-90g of protein a day. MY doctor told me to drink as much protein as I can handle. After a week i can only handle a cup or two a day of the protein shake and barely two cups of water. Everyone is different though. Did your doctor give you a booklet of foods you could eat during each phase?? I can upload mine if you want when i get home.

Take your BMI and multiply by .36. So if your BMI is 34.7 then you multiply it by .36 to get 85 grams of protein a day.

Don't know if I'm doing something wrong ? 34.7 x .36 = 12.492

Your Doctor should be telling you the amounts.

Why are you posting this on here???? You could have called me. Girl you just had surgery you are going to feel weak. That's normal to feel weak you just had surgery like what 4 days ago and you need at least 60 grams of protein a day. Are you looking for the protein to give you strength?
