My NUT wants me to have 80 grams of protein including 2 shakes and 3 small meals a day. I can barely get in 1 shake and a couple of meals. I am 6 weeks out and back to regular foods. how much protein does everyone else get?

I'm a little over a month out and I get 90 grams, 60 from my two shakes and the rest from protein rich foods, lean meats, cheese, eggs ect...

I was getting 50-60g by the 5th day. Consistent 60+g by 2 months and probably 80-100g by 6 months. 30-40g from a protein smoothie and the rest from food.

I'm supposed to be at 95g and I'm having to do shakes and protein bars to fill in the missing gaps in my diet..it's the hardest part for me.

I'm having a horrible time with my protein! I'm 6 weeks out and on full food. whey Protein makes me sick, so I have not had a shake in quite a while. I'm running about 40-50g protein per day. My NUT wanted me at 85g/day. I read somewhere yesterday that taking in too little protein could result in a stall/slow-down, and I'm worried about that. Has anyone heard of that?

Last night I sat and worked out a schedule for meals/snacks, but I'm not sure I'll get all my Water in with the 30/30 rule and eating so often. This is no longer as easy as I have been making it!..... or am I making the eating plan too complicate?

Im supposed to have at least 80 g.of protein daily. Im having a hard time getting protein, having bout 40 to 50 g. Currently. I dont think about eating and drinking fills me up. Eeeek

I am almost 6 weeks post op am suppose to get 60grams in a day, I usually get between 70-80. My doc wants me doing two shakes and one meal a day. Most days I eat my meal at dinnertime with my family.

With this program I have no problem getting in my Protein and liquids in a day.

I am almost 6 weeks out. My NUT said 60-80 and I usually get less than 70 per day. I usually have half of a shake to one shake per day (depends on the day) and then just eat as much Protein as I possibly can for the rest of the day. Usually it works out to 60 or close.

I'm twelve days out. Having a hard time forcing myself to eat or drink. What a new experience. Lol. Getting in 45 g of protein with effort. Praying my hair won't fall out.
