While you want to aim for 60 g a day, in week 2, my nutritionist just wanted me to try to get as much as I could which usually was only 35-40 grams. It's hard on the full liquid stage. If you have make your own powdered drinks, you can use less milk with the full amount of Protein so that there's less volume to get down.

But, you're still really early out... don't worry too much, do what you can and as you move further out from surgery it will get easier.

You can also add twice the amount of powder and blend with soy milk or ff milk.

How are you doing on fluids? I made sure EVERYTHING I drank had Protein in it. It was actually easier to get 60g protein than 64oz. fluids.

Typical day...

1 scoop Syntrax nectar in 16oz Water +

1 scoop powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored in 1 cup broth or cream Soup +

1/2 Premier Protein diluted with 8oz milk (these were always too sweet and thick for me so diluting them with milk helped them go down easier.).

That is 67g protein and only 38oz fluids. The rest of the fluids I got from drinking herbal tea and diluted 100% fruit juices (plain water and artificial sweeteners in crystal light, etc really hurt my sleeve in the beginning)
