Hello I just recently had surgery on April 9th and when my doc came in the next day he told me not to worry about the high Protein intake the nutritionist guidelines says or just focus on full liquid for three weeks. I know he knows I don't like Protein shakes or powders and don't want me to get burnt out but is anybody actually able to take in the 60+ grams a day?

If so is it strictly through powder added into everything?

I did not like any of the protein drinks that I tried. I also did not worry about protein too much during the first three weeks after my surgery. Just tried to find something that could be pureed and would taste ok. I didn't start worrying about protein until I got to the soft food stage. I am getting more than enough protein in without drinking the protein drinks and I have lost 45 pounds in the 5 1/2 weeks since my surgery. This is what worked for me.

Thank you for your reply! ???? I am really trying to be good and my four year old son is making sure everyone knows I cant eat anything just Soup and Water oh and jello! My 19mnth daughter tries to stuff food down my mouth.

My Dr. Put me on a protein exliur (sp) for three days. Then I went to liquid and protein shakes for the first week after that. I am not sure how much protein I am getting now. I need to track it.

I'm getting in around 100g a day usually At times 130g if I'm lifting a lot, or 80g if I'm resting that day.
