I'm a week out from surgery now, and everything is going very well. I can get in about 3-4 oz of pureed food/liquids at each meal now, but can't quite get in 60 gm or protein. I'm getting about 40- gm right now (6-9 gm/meal)...is this normal?? I haven't started using the whey protein powders very much yet, and am getting my protein from other sources, including the high protein boost. Should I try to push for 60 gms a day at this stage??

Congrats on your surgery!  Honestly, at this early on, my nutritonist just said to do the best I could.  They were more concerned about my staying hydrated.

Good Luck to you, Christina
