Am on day three... Yesterday she moved me to full liquids.i had a hard time with clear liquids... And getting my protein in... This morning I had half a cup of plain Greek yogurt and it went down pretty well... Does that count towards my protein ! Thanks everyone to responding to my posts.

Of course it does!

Yup. Are you entering your food into some sort of tracking program so you know exactly how much Protein you got from it? My guess is you didn't eat a whole serving and it's a very good idea to keep track.

If you get light & fit Greek yogurt, it has 18 grams protein per serving (1 cup). The protein should be on the nutrition label.

Sorry i keep asking stupid questions

replying to above statement

you should be!!

yogurt is grrreat for Protein

I llllllove my FAGE 0% plain yogurt with fresh blueberries and a little granola sprinkled on top!! yum yum

(no blueberries or granola for you at your early stage )

since you ate 1/2 cup yogurt that =s 10gr

keeping track of your calories, Proteins, carbs, sugar, etc is very helpful

good luck

Alyce, best of wishes to you. Read the protein count on the container of yogurt. It is good to keep track of what you eat. Every day will get better! Have a wonderful weekend!

I downloaded the myfitnesspal on my phone..best thing ever after I learned how to use it! I track everything. ..I make sure I get my min 60 protein daily..I drink all day..an it's the last thing I do before I crawl in bed.

I use it for the same thing. Plus I changed the calorie intake for when I'm eating food food again. Just to see.

As they say, no question is stupid. A lot of foods contain a certain amount of Protein & you need to count it. Even tho' I'm on solid foods I still drink at least 1 shake a day. This helps making sure I get 60+ grams of protein.

If you don't log in your food on something (even if it's just a sheet of paper) you won't be able to make sure you are hitting all of your daily requirements. I use MyFitnessPal on my cell phone. I always look up food before I eat it just to make sure it doesn't have some horrible carbs/fat in it, then I log it. Then, when can, I transfer this information to my DietMinder that I got from Amazon. In the afternoon I tally up all of my intake to make sure I'm getting everything I need & not over doing my calories & carbs. I know it's a bit redundant but this way I can just look something up from previous days. Trying to go back a few days on MyFitnessPal is a pain. My DietMinder also has a place for weight, exercise & Vitamins.
