Protein Intake at 10 days out
RNY on 04/09/12
So, I understand that I am supposed to be consuming approximately 60 grams of protein daily. However, the pureed diet that I was given gave me an example of eating 1/4 cup morning, noon and night and 4 oz. of protein shake for snacks 3 times daily. I have been following the amounts but it never adds up to 60 grams. If fact, it is damn near impossible with the amounts. Any suggestions?
You can double up on the protein powder or add powdered milk to your shakes.
10 days out I think my doc told me to do the best I could - it was more important to get stay hydrated and the protein would catch up. I was however drinking 8 oz shakes three times a day, which would have added up to 60 grams of protein. It sometimes took a long time to get 8 oz down.
Good luck - you will get there. It only gets easier.
