I got banded on Oct. 11 and I didn't get any instructions from the doctor on what to drink. Is there a certain amount of protein you need to get in everyday ? Is it also the same amount when you start on mushed and solids ? Also, do I need to drink a certain amount of calories ? Thanks everyone.

I meant to write on YOUR liquid diet !

I don't know about your doctor's instructions on liquids, but in general the necessary grams of protein is your weight times .3

with my doctor it was 80grams daily. as you add food to your diet keep track and food plus protein drinks should be 80 g. but again as we all stress over and over again every doctor is different and the doctor should be telling you what to drink and eat. its important to be taking a multi-vit. with minerals. also a b complex. i have to take vit. d because my d was low. also calcium. most start with 1500 calcium. good luck

the best thing to do is call your doctor and ask him/her what they recommend for you. it varies per person/per doctor...so if you want the right answer for you, call your doctor.
