ANOTHER PROTEIN QUESTION?

OK I AM ALMOST 9 WEEKS ..AND DOWN 42..DO I UNDERSTAND THIS RIGHT..AT FIRST WE HAD TO DRINK ENOUGH PROTEIN BECAUSE WE DIDNT EAT ENOUGH..WELL NOW THAT I CAN EAT MORE PROTEIN DO WE STILL HAVE TO DRINK PROTEIN..70 GRAMS/DAY.. THANKS HAPPYGAL

if you can get enough protein from your food. but if you fall short use the protein drink. I am 4 months post op and still have at least one protein drink a day to get my 70 grams in. Do you see a dietician?? as your weight goes down so will the amount of protein you need. Donna

Ask your Dr, you probably still need 70g per day, but if you get it from your food that is fine, you shouldn't need to drink it too. I do food and drink, just so I can get my grams in for the day, I can't seem to get it all in from food yet.- Melissa
