How much protein/water a day?
My surgeon required a 4 week "post-op" surgery class. The recommendations I got from that were as follows:
* Use unflavored protein powder in anythng you eat or drink. The one I will use has 17 grams of protein for one scoop. You can put it in water, crystal light, masked potatoes, pudding, oatmeal, yogart, soup, etc. One scoup to me is a little much for one serving of anything but you can measure out one scoup and use it through out the day. That would get you up to almost 40 grams a day. I will actually be using 2 scoups a day plus 20+ grams from protein drinks.
* There is a pudding called Snack & Slim that has 20 grams of protein for one serving. I just got it yesterday but haven't tasted it yet. I hear it is pretty good.
* Make sure to eat about every 2 - 3 hours and always have something with protein.
How much protein does your doctor recommend a day?
Good luck.

Hey Kila-
I have mixed unflavored Unjury brand protein in something everyday. Also, I have tried pureed tuna, chicken and shrimp. If I have a yogurt with my unjury in it for breakfast, I have 31g of protein in by breakfast. Cottage cheese is also currently working for me. It just takes awhile to get this in.
Good Luck,
Kim
