HOW DO YOU GET IT IN!!!

 We had surgery the same day!!!  I am in the same boat as you...at most I am at 30-45g protein and maybe an extra 8oz of fluid.  I am a little discouraged at the fact that I cannot hit the 70g mark.  I got some samples of Beneprotein before I left the hospital and added to my drinks.  Its a good 6g protein powder that can be added to food and drink.  it did not alter my drink so i bought a canister online.  Im hoping the extra 6g per drink will get me even closer to the 70g mark!  Good luck!

Here's my BIG secret/solution!!
I take an Atkins or EAS premade shake, stick it in the blender, and add 1 sometimes 2 (especially in the stage 1 zone) scoops of Body Fortress protein mix.
This give me 60+ grams of protein, and 12 oz of liquid.
Its tough to get all your water in, but just drink as much as you can.
Good luck!!!

Just so you know, your body cannot absorb more than 25-30 grams of protein at a time, so if you drink the shake very slowly, it's probably fine, but otherwise, you're only getting half of that 60 grams!

well, considering I can only handle 2 oz at a time, I think that's covered, but thanks.

 the first 2 weeks or so there was no way I as getting it all in, my docotor said get in as much as i could.. as time goes on you are able to get more in so dont stress..

I'm 4 mos. post-op today and I STILL have trouble getting enough liquids; but I keep working at i****ch out for signs of dehydration and just do the best you can.

As for the protein, I learned from a friend that one way to do it is to start every day with a "double" protein shake - I put 2 scoops of Unjury in 8 oz. of 1% milk for breakfast and presto - 48 grams of protein - don't believe the stuff you hear about the body not being able to absorb that much - it must work - I'm down 100 lbs. (24 pre-op)  Good luck!

As long as you're drinking it nice and slowly, you should be fine!
