First week amounts

[LibrarianBecky 91]

Hi all!

I'm on day four post-op, and I think I'm doing pretty well. My goals at this point are 64 oz of liquid and 50-70 g of Protein each day. I am eating small amounts at a time, multiple times a day. So, for example, today I had about 4 oz of Oikos Triple zero yogurt for Breakfast. I just finished 4 oz of premier Protein shake for lunch. I plan to have some high Protein Jello after a few hours. Maybe a cup of broth with Protein powder, and 4 more oz of shake. That should put me at about 55 G protein for the day. Does that sound reasonable at this stage?

I'd try to shoot for more Protein if you can, but otherwise you are doing great. Just make sure to get that liquid in (more than 64 oz if possible) and the higher your Protein intake, the more healing that happens. Shoot for the 70 grams.

Sounds good! Every day is a little easier to get wAter/protein in. Tomorrow is one week since surgery. Think I'm doing pretty well!
