Protein pre op

[nesa83 89]

Question: how much Protein is everyone that is pre op taking in daily.? I'm drinking four ounces of skim milk with one scoop of protein which is 30 gram in each scoop, I'm drinking this four times a day. On my diet it doesn't say how much protein I should be having a day it just says to have 3-5 Protein Drinks a day. I'm a little confused

My center didn't mention a certain amount either. If you track your intake with MyFitnessPal you'll know exactly how much you're getting. I've been averaging around 120-140 a day (depending on which Protein powder I use) which is really good. Sounds like you're doing it right though, keep it up! I'm down 8 in a week which is a miracle for me... its very hard but gotta stay focused!

I don't have myfitnesspal but I will look into it right now. Thank you. That's awesome 8lbs in one woohoo!!

Mine said 70-90 g of Protein daily from pre-op on. Protein will help that weight drop.

My center says a minimum of 60g of Protein, with 90-100g daily being ideal.

My diet didn't say how much Protein, just that i could have up to six Clear Liquids a day ?broth, Protein Shakes, Jello, sf popsicle, etc). Anyway, I get in about 50g of protein a day because i drink at least 2 of GNC's lean shakes which AMAZING. they are about 170cal, 2g of sugar and25g of protein

I feel pretty good during the day, it's just around 5:30 to 6 i start feeling weak and tired. What's keeping me going is each day i get on the scale, i've lost a pound of two. When i started i was 241. This morning i am 232. Almost dow. 10lbs in 6 days. Not too shabby
