If not, I suggest reading this... it's what my surgeon at Johns Hopkins provides:

I have not yet had surgery but from what I understand this is a very good guideline. Also there are some examples of how much protein is in various items.
My doctor/nut probably gave me something in writing, I just have to look for it. Anyway I will check out the site. Thanks.

For example: If you ate 3 oz of tuna and it was 20 grams of protein for 6 oz.. Then it would be 10 grams of protein for 3 oz.
Thanks.

Also, generally speaking, for fresh meats like chicken, beef, pork... for every ounce you eat thats aprox. 7g of protein.
Every 1/4 cup of shredded cheese (mozzerella, cheddar) is aprox. 8g of protein.
so, what i do for one meal is heat up 3 oz of the frozen fully cooked chicken thigh for fajitas, then melt 1/4 cup of mozzerella cheese over it and once I'm done eating that (takes me a little while), I've just consumed 28g of protein in one meal.
This site has been a life saver for me and tracking what I am injesting...

Go to 'The Daily Plate', it tracks everything for you including:
- protein,
- fat
- carbs
- calories
- sugar
- fiber
- water
- exercise...
You will love it, it makes things so much easier.
Once you put a food in it keep track of it for the next time. Also, it already has over 300,000 foods and resturants in there.
Good luck,
Cindy
I will definetly check into this site. I really love easy and cool things to do, to make my life easier...

Anyway the guidlines from Hopkins are very good. Nice explanation of eating plan. My nut says 100 gm. of protein a day. so you can see it differs from place to place, nut to nut and so on. I absolutely agree with Belize Sleeve about livestrong.com It has been a huge help to me. It figures it out, and I don't have to do the math, lol. I hope your surgeon provides difinitive guidelines for you.
Blessings to you.

I just love that little puppy too. I wi**** was mine. I copied and pasted his/her picture from google images for shih tzu puppies. I do plan to get a puppy soon. Yours looks quite adorable too. We are going on vacation on Wednesday 01 Jul - 08 Jul. Going to San An tonio to see family. So, when I come back that's when I start my search for a puppy.
I'm going to check out livestrong.com. Thanks so much for your input.
I see that you are a Christian too, so am I. I am so grateful to the Lord for making this VSG available and with His strength, I know I can do all things. Getting to my goal.
Blessing to you and your household.....
