I was advised to be targeting 65g of protein.

Two shakes and 1 Greek yogurt usually do the trick.

An 11 oz premier protein has 30 grams, so two of those plus a Greek yogurt is another 12. That hits 72 for me which my NUT says 65-75. I'm 12 days out. At 5 days I wasn't getting quite that much but it got easier much quicker than I thought. Water is a bit more important at this point. I'd aim for 48-64 oz if you can.

I have pure protein shake which is 23 grams per 12oz. Can I have yogurt this early in the game?

65 wow. Ok im gonna try. Thank u.

Check with your surgeon, you should have a list or plan or something. I was ok for no chunk, fat free Greek yogurt and day 4 post surgery. I've been eating Dannon Light n Fit Greek.

Thank I see the doc tomorrow.

My NUT gave me a whole binder full of information re the different stages of the post-op diet, how to get your Protein in, etc. It's surprising to me to see how many people on this forum don't seem to be receiving much information from their bariatric surgery teams.

I have sugar free muscle milk 30g protein I add a scoop of protein powder and some plain Greek yogurt. I drink about 6oz at a time but it's packed with protein and tastes great!

Ok i see my doc tomorrow, i luv dannon greek yogurt.

I was on liquids for the first three weeks after surgery. My plan required 4 ounces of water each hour, followed by 4 ounces of protein shake the next hour, from 8am until 10pm each day. That meant I had 60 grams of protein (Atkins, Carnation shakes) and 64 ounces of fluids for the day. It was boring but I was able to get in the required amounts of protein and fluid on a daily basis

Thanks so much I can work with this. I been drinking all day, ever 15 minutes or so. I can set my alarm for every hour cool. I really appreciate this.

I would love some tips. I'm 7 days out and only averaging 30gms protein and maybe 40oz fluid per day... I always feel full, so it's hard to get liquids in.
