Just wondering, what does your surgeon/nutritionist tell you you should be getting, and what are you getting realistically?

I'm supposed to get 60, and I get between 40-50 pr day. How about you?

Nut said at least 70 grams. I am lucky to get 30. Getting better this week.

I'm 12 days post-op. I am having a really hard time with the protien. I was doing great the first week with Unjury chicken broth, but I just can't do it anymore for some reason. Plus I literally have NO appetite.

I'm supposed to go over sixty. Today i got in 78 but that was due to two Protein shakes. I'm lucky to hit fifty on a normal day.

I'm supposed to be getting 60. Some days I come really close. Some days nowhere near it. Rarely do I go over. It was easy when I first started soft foods, but you can only eat turkey, chicken, or tuna so much before you get sick of it.

Me too:-) We keep trying....

I'm supposed to get 64 grams of protein daily whether it be from food or shake. I am one year post op, I try to get the majority from food (cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, etc. etc). There are days I know I don't get close but I do try like hell. I don't want to lose hair so I give it my best shot.
