I was told to get 100 protein. I drank premier ready to drink shakes and they each have 30 g so I reached it easily.

I was told 2 protein shakes a day or protein bar (breakfast and lunch), I can have 1/2 cup fruit 3x/day as a snack, unlimited non-starchy veggies. Dinner consist of 3 ounces of meat (preferably lean), small salad with 2 tablespoon fat free dressing, mouse sized baked potatoe or 6 unsalted crackers, and 1/2 cup of fruit. I also have to get in 64 oz of water. Oh yea I can drink Powerade zero, decaf tea/coffee. To answer you question I was told 60-80g of protein.

I start today too. I get 3 protein shakes under 200 calories each at least 25 protein and less than 10 carbs. Then i get 3 ounceof lean meat, 1 cup veggies, one tennis ball size fruit, which i plan to ask if i can replace with more veggies. 1/3 cup brown rice, 1 serving of fat, i guess equal to 1/8th an avocado or a teaspoon of olive oil. They do differ greatly. Surgery 12 14 15. You too?
