I'm getting 100-125 grams of Protein per day. I drink one Isopure flavored water and one twelve oz shake. Combined, this is 90 grams of protein by themselves. I still eat cottage cheese and eggs but have started on fish and lean deli meats. Last night's 3 oz of salmon was good for 24 grams of protein. It's not always easy or flavorful but, protein sources are out there. Be positive and try as many as you can within your prescribed diet.

Premier is my go to also. I pour it over ice to thin it out a little. Only have tried the choc. Just slowly work on it with small sips and it will eventually be gone lol. Still takes me over an hr to drink one. I am 4 months out. Early on I ate yogurt or Peanut Butter on a spoon to get in some Protein too.

I have no idea how you guys are getting so much Protein in ??? I struggle to get in 60g per day at 5 weeks. I am also constantly pushing the fluids. Share your secrets!

Put Protein Powder in everything you drink and eat.

I'm approaching 9 mons post op and getting 60-70 gm of Protein daily. Most come from food, but I still do 1 Protein Shake daily after i exercise that contains 20 gm of protein. At this point, even if I wanted to, don't think I could eat any more than I do now. Levels are ok, as doc said min should be 60 gm daily with most coming from food.

What can you possibly eat that you have time to both prepare and consume that has the required 60-80 G Protein a day?

I'm still on shakes and purée foods so far haven't had a day yet that I don't reach it ... I log it on my fitness pal

Today I had coffee at 6:30, 1.5 eggs "dry fried" around, lunch I had 1/2 a link of Italian sausage that I bought at the farmers market Saturday and a string cheese, dinner- I made sour cream chicken enchiladas- I replace a little more than 1/2 the sour cream with Greek yogurt (my hubby hates the thought of Greek yogurt- and he has no idea, so it doesn't change the taste)- I don't eat the tortilla on mine- so I get 2ish oz of shredded chicken and cheese. And sauce :). I made guac and had a little dollop of that on the side. For Snacks I had 2oz of beef Jerky and a babybel cheese. According to MFP- 850 calories and 59g of Protein so far. I may have another snack later...

Sorry for the copy/paste. I don't prepare dishes as it's just me. Kids are out of the house so not feeding a family. I do 6 mini meals a day. Some stand bys for me are hot choc /decaf (15g) . 2 light mozzarella string cheese (12g). Chobani Lemon Greek Yogurt (15g). Boars Head Ever-roast deli chicken 2 oz (13g). Al Fresco chicken sausage (14g). Morningstar Spicy Black Bean Burger (11g).1 pouch tuna/1/2 c 1% cottage cheese (31g). Gortons Simply Bake Tilapia (20g). Unjury Protein Powder 1 scoop/8 oz skim milk (29g) and sometimes I add 2 T of PB2 which brings it to 34g. Each one of these standbys is 1 mini meal for me. I don't have room for anything after eating it. Don't eat them all on the same day but keep my cals under 900 for the day. I shoot for 90g a day. Sorry for the run on paragraph. My enter key is not working ONLY on this website. Have contacted Alex/Tech but no solution yet.

I just found out yesterday that I've been getting to many grams of Protein for me to only 5 weeks out. (97plus). And over 700 cals. To much protein means to many calories. Talked to my NUT yesterday and he told me to be careful. I've been using a scale and should use the 1/4 oz measuring cup for volume not scale for weight. I was scared that I wasn't getting enough protein when I ate to I drank the Protein Drinks in between meals. THIS IS A NO NO! So yesterday I joined fat secret.com so my Proteins and cals can be added for me once I entered what I ate. I've loss 29 lbs in 5 weeks, it's possible I could have loss more.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
