Greeetings everyone:
I thought it would be helpful to everyone if I addressed the concerns addressed in the following e-mails I've received from others on the subject of how much protein should be eaten every day. I've just posted this information in our Blog area. Your comments are appreciated.
Blessings,
Christine
Comments I’ve heard from others: Maureen, USA My doctor doesn't want us to replace meals with a drink. I just do it to reach my 60 protein daily goal. (Christine Gibson’s Note: Maureen has had RNY surgery.) Sharon, Canada My doctors must have a total different take on by-pass surgery because I am to eat protein only for the first eight weeks, and today is my ninth week. I can now start to add one vegetable a day, which is low on carbs. They do not want us to get our protein in liquids unless we have to. “Susan", USA I don’t know what type of surgery I had. It was in 1985 and the doctor has retired. I had something done 7 years ago but am unclear about it as well. I know my stomach was stapled; but, I don’t know about anything else. I just don’t feel good.

I recently had RNY surgery. My doc and his nutritionist discussed protein intake with us prior to surgery and post. For RNY, my doc's minimum daily protein intake is to be 70g. They discussed using protein drink and protein enhanced foods along with regular foods.
Their comment on protein drinks is that just about anything can be put in the blender, whole fat milk, fruit, ice cream end result no weight loss due to the added calories. There is no way with my food intake that I could even get the minimum 70 g my doc recommends.
After a discussion with Christine I have increased my protein (mix) and very glad to report that I am feeling much better. My RNY is a WL tool and I must take the responsibility to eat responsively. I choose a high protein mix compared to the calories/sugars and make it with water.
Wish everyone well with their journey,
Jacqueline
