Protein questions?? Not enough

I had my band done on 6/7/05 in Lincoln by Dr Hung. I am having problems getting all the grams of protein that I am required to take in per day. I am to get 45-70gr per day and the most I have accomplished yet is a day of 22 grams. I eat my 2oz per meal with protein in it and even if I drink some of the protein drink I dont seem to be getting enought protein. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated on what you did to satisfy this problem or if you didn't have it why? What did you do diffrent? I can't eat more than the 2 oz a meal and then waiting in between before drinking. I feel like I am constantly eating( drinking). Please let me know. Thanks Linda

Relax Linda it has only been a week, no one expects you to get all that in right away, right now work on the water and what ever you can, just make sure that you eat protein first and work on those protein drinks, if u mix them with water, use milk instead its extra protein some people even add some powdered milk to it to boost it up even more. You will do fine dont rush yourself..JeanB

Are you eating solid food already? After my surgery I was not able to eat solid food for a couple of weeks. I "ate" cream soups made with milk and added milk powder to increase the protein. Drank protein drinks, the best are at unjury.com! Cottage cheese and yogurt have protein. I made fat free, sugar free pudding with milk and added the milk powder to it as well. That made it really creamy and yummy. I hope some of these suggestions help! Congrats on being banded! Denise
