Poll: Protien

Mine is also 60-70. I was trying to get most of that in with carnation instant breakfast but lactose intolerance hit me on day 4 post op. I am trying to work with getting as much of it as I can. My doc also said it takes time to learn to eat that much - but the water is more important in the new post op period. I am 1 week and 2 days post op and down 10 pounds.

Try taking the protien in crystal lite. Its really nice that way. Patty

I'm required to get in 64-72g protein a day. Most of it is to come from shakes or bars (which I can't have yet). I make my shakes like an icee thing. I mix 2 scoops protein shake, 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons lowfat yogurt.. blend in the blender, add one cup ice.. it's good if you have the best flavor. Angelina

Do you use crushed ice or just regular cubes? That sounds like a really nice drink. Patty

60 - 80 grams per day. I use Isopure Zero Carb - It's 50 grams per serving and makes it pretty easy to get it all in.

I use Pro Plan vanilla, its really nice too. Think I'm going to double my protien I dont think I am taking enough. Patty

My doctor wants me to get at least 60 mg's per day. That is the least amount and up to 100 mg's per day. Cynthia

Wow a 100 is quite a bit. I find it hard enough to get in my one scoop a day. Patty

Hi, 60 to 80 and I have tried all kinds of protein drinks and concoctions and most I can't stand, bu I will do what I have to (and keep serching too)

Try the pro plan whey with vanilla and put it in some crystal lite. Its actually very nice. If you go to the health food store maybe you can get samples of diff ones to try out. Patty
