3 days post op

Just looking to see if there is any advice on protein intake this early on. I just want to make sure I'm getting enough of what I need in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

no advice just wanting to say congrats and speedy recovery

Hi, My advice is....make an 8oz protein shake and drink an oz an hour....before you know it your finished!! Try to have 16oz in a day, and that should meet your protein requirements depending on which shake you choose. janean

I was told by my surgeon and the hospitol to not worry of my protein numbers till i was on pureed foods....So thats how i did it and i feel fine so far 3 months post op. I did get protein in but not the full amount for the first 3 weeks. GOOD LUCK FEEL WELL! LISA 310/223/onederland

I was told by my doctor not to worry about protein until I was on full liquids, which was week two. If your still doing clear liquids, I wouldn't drink the protein yet. Also, I found the best protein if you are having trouble. It's unflavored Unjury, and I mix it with orange crystal lite or orange juice. It's the best, and believe me, I've tried them all!!!
