Question:
Enough protein/water

Help! I had my surgery in 12/16/08. I am always questioning myself if I have enough protein or water. Can someone send me a phase one plan that that followed?? Thank you so much.    — ren50 (posted on December 27, 2008)

It shouldnt be a question of if...I hope you keep track of your intake. If your unsure of what you requrirements are check with your surgeon. I hope they gave you an outline preop. Where you are it can be a strugle to get in the needed fluids and protein. I personally didint tolerate protein shakes. I was told 1 oz every 15 min. No more that 4 oz in a hour. Maybe try some lactaid milk. Theres approx 11grms protein in 8 oz. I would pour just couple oz at a time. Some people add SF carnation instant breakfast and a scoop of protein powder. If you dont have any gudelines I can send a copy of mine. There also Weight loss surgery for dummies book. Good luck
