Ok I thought I knew all this and was prepared..... 1week out today. Transitioned from clear to full liquids yesterday. NUT says 3 meals and 2 snacks. 2-4 oz of protein drink at a time . Well that is only 20 oz. I'm doing ready to drink muscle milk, that's only about 15-30 gm of protein for the day, I know I need more and I'm having no trouble drinking. What am I missing?

The first few weeks out from surgery, you are not going to meet your protein goals. Very few people do, as it's nearly impossible with the tiny amount of food you can eat. Just get down what you can, and try to get at least 20 grams of protein. Once your tummy heals more you will be able to get in most if not all of your protein. Just take it slow, you'll be alright =)

Thanks for the response.

Well went to the dr for my followup and she suggested adding an additional scoop of Protein to my ready to drink. So I have doubled the amt of protein without having to increase volume. She said even though I am not having any trouble drinking she is still concerned with stressing the revision with all the complications.
