Am I getting enough protein and vitamins!

Ok...I'm confused as hell! My dietitian is saying I should get enough protein in one swerving? I counted and I'm only getting 21grams! That's not enough!! Should I start doing two protein shakes a day vs one? Also when did you all start your vitamins?

I did two a day, I used the premier protein shakes. I bought mine at SAM's club. They are 30 grams a piece. Now I do one shake and one protein bar to get 60 grams.

I take two flinstones vitamins a day, one morning and one and night. I take 1500 mg of calcium citrate a day. I space those out two hours a apart and two hours from my vitamins and your boost can only absorb 500 mg at a time and your vitamins will block the absorption if the calcium.

My dietitian didn't inform me enough! I haven't even started my multivitamin!! I have them, but nowhere in my paper work does it say to start taking them right after surgery. I know he wants me to wait two before I start taking my calcium and b12.

I didn't start my vitamins again until I was two weeks post op, you start them back when you go on the purée diet which is stage 2.

I was thinking wth...am I the only one not taking vitamins immediately afterwards?!

Lol, no but soon :)
