7 wks. post-op not enough protein

Hi all. I am 7 weeks post-op. Worried I'm not getting in enough protein. I am really having a tough time eating any meat and Greek yogurts are way too thick so they get stuck. I have no appetite and I have to literally make myself eat and drink all day, (It's kind of surreal ) I am lucky if I can get 60-70 grams of protein a day. Is this normal for 7 weeks? I have an appt. with my nutritionist on Wednesday and we will review my food journals. Just wanted to see where everyone else was at with getting in enough of their protein.

Someone at my work let me try their isopure Apple melon drink. It's so delicious and those bottles have 40gm of protein. I'd recommend that. It's pretty thin like juice. Just drink it with ice. It helps.

I was going to mention Isopure. I love the Apple melon, grape and fruit punch and I REALLY love the 40gms of protein and they are not a shake! :P

I actually put mine in the freezer for a couple hours, get that "slushy" thing going. Seems like the colder it is, the better it tastes to me.

Good luck! :)
