How far out are you?

A protein shake should have approximately 25 grams so two of these a day,

Snacks roughly 6-10 grams; cottage cheese, yogurt, fish, meats.

So your day could easily add to 70 grams and more

I am 6days post op and jviruet330 I feel your pain. If you are like me you are still on liquids only. I am able to get in about 2 1/2 to 3oz at a time then I have to wait at least an hour to two to drink more. I was advised yesterday to try a morning shake with double protein. My chocolate powder is 24 protein per scoop to 8oz liquid. I was told to try 12oz of skim milk (12pro) plus 2scoops of powder (48pro) and that would give me 60pro in 12oz. I am going to try it and see how it works. Ready for pureed foods, I think it will be a little easier then. Hang in there we can do this. ????
