My doctor bases the amount of Protein you need per day from your height. I'm 5'8" & need 90 grams per day.

Do NOT put Gatorade in you! It's all sugar

Albacore tuna is very dry and dense so its hard to digest and makes you thirsty easting it. Mix avacado or light mayo with regular tuna.

I was told 60gm Protein and 64Oz fluids. Also on soft food you can eat most things add long as you cherry them to ground or purred constancy.

Get protien fortified broths which have 15g of protien per serving. I also found New Whey shots at Walmart that have 42g of protien. .

FYI for everyone those whey shots do not work for RNY patients at all. They are the wrong kind of Protein and you can not absorb it. Basically you are wasting your money and thinking you are getting in your Protein when in actuality that is not true. If you search the boards DLCoggin posted a few times specifically on that topic and it might be helpful for you new people to read that. There is so much good information on old posts, reading through them might be helpful! I don't have the time to search for the post I am referring to, but I know for a fact it is there. Anyway, check it out, it is important information that you need to know in protecting yourself and in getting the right amount and type of protein in your diet!

Oh and I was told less then 10 grams of a sugar at one sitting. 75g of Protein a day at minimum. 50g of carbs a day maximum. Do not forget to eat your veggies and fruit, we focus so much on Protein, as we should, that we forget the basics of a good diet. Same with dairy, which is difficult considering many of us are now lactose intolerant, but you can eat cheese etc.

I log my foods in for the day first thing in the morning (before I eat them) in myfitnesspal and see what my planned foods total up to in regards to protein and once my protein is fully filled to my expectation I then add in my other food groups to fill it out. It really works for me and helps me stay on track with protein and calories.

make sure you are getting in enough Water and your Vitamins as well, both impact stalls, as do exercise and sleep.

I had also read on here about the Protein Shots not being for us.

Its strange that my Dr would tell me to buy New Whey shots and even sell them in their bariatric store. Not sure if I believe others opinions over a specialist Dr. in his field. I suggest others to consult your Dr.

Of course you follow your Drs advice and the Protein Shots that don't work for us are the ones that say collagen. So perhaps these new shots are the right kind of Protein and that would be awesome, has anyone have some and could check? Thanks

I was told the same thing that most of the shots offered faked Protein. There was 2 brands that had the real stuff or a mixture. I would do a little more research to be sure.
