I don't have my post-op docs with me today and I am trying to remember what the recommended protein amount is. I am 4 weeks post-op, what instructions did the rest of you receive?

Thanks!!

Whatever it is, you're not getting enough.  It's never enough. And when you think you have gotten it all in, they still want you to get more!

My info says 60-80 grams a of protein and more than 48 ozs of fluids.

Hope it helps

Thanks. I realized I am tracking protein intake and didn't realize it. (DUH, it was online with my calories, carbs, fat etc. and I didn't notice it) so I wanted to see how I have been doing and figure out how to add.

Appreciate it!!

 My doctor said 60 grams of more of protein and at least 64 oz of water and my protein don't count as my water.   Good Luck!
