My program's goal for me is 60g. I'm averaging 70g. I'm at week 9 post-op.

I'm almost 5 weeks post op. I get 65-85 grams a day.

One Protein shake-30 grams.

Various other high protein soft foods fill in the remaining 35-55 a day.

60-70 grams a day 5. Weeks post op. 1 or 1.5 shakes a day

I get about 90 grams per day -- all food. Today is Day 37 post-op for me.

I am 3 weeks post op today. I am getting 60 G protein a day by drinking 2 Premier shakes(11oz each). Honestly, getting enough liquids is my biggest challenge.

I'm about two weeks out or three ? Anyways I'm getting pretty much 80 or more with food in the puree stage and one power house protein shake in skim milk and Greek yogurt... pow. Breakfast over 40 grams of protein

Nutritionist recommended 90 gr8. I am 10 days post open and managed this since the 4th post opinion day mainly because of unflavored Unjury.

I am averaging 60 to 70. I'm trying to cut back on Protein shakes but I'm still having 1 and 1/2 a day.

At that point I was getting 100-110 g per day (it's a guy thing), which is still what it is at five years later (as it should be - these are generally maintenance levels of protein we are trying to hit.) Doc added veg to my diet at the 10 day mark since at 90 g I was at a more than satisfactory level at that time.

I am 30 days post op. I get a min of 60 but aim for 80. In the last week I was averaging 75.

My main source lately has been a shake I have for Breakfast made of 5oz fairlife milk, 5oz fairlife chocolate milk, 1 tbs GENEPRO and 1 tbs PB2. Its 242 cals and 48g Protein. It takes me 2-3 hours to drink it, but most cause I forget its there when at work.
