After surgery protein?

How long until you were able to get the 60 grams in after surgery?  Did you just sip shakes most of the day?  I was able to get 6 oz of opti source at the hospital this morning and 6 oz of HP Ensure around 4.  Not nearly enough protein.

My dr had me work up to it starting with just 10grams a day and increasing it 10 more each day.  I like the oh yeah shakes and they have 32 grams in them.

I'm up to 75-90 now and I'm 8 days post op

I had similar progress as Teresa, getting in 75-90g consistently in the second week - well enough that the doc was adding veg to my diet at our day 10 meeting. Others will struggle to get in that 60 for a few weeks. When my wife went through this a few years ago she had a lot harder time getting in her liquids and protein than I did, and didn't progress quite as quickly - normal variations between individuals.

Yesterday was my first day. (Day 6). I'd been getting 48 grams on days 3-5, but yesterday I got 78 and will keep with that. 

I've just made myself a 16oz protein shake with 48 grams in they morning and worked on finishing that off first before drinking anything else. 

I am 1 week post-op and scared to try the protein shakes.  My doctor said protein is good but the shakes may be too tough at first.  I am struggling to get in all my liquids but trying to increase a little every day.  Made it to 42 oz. yesterday.  4oz. Of my total were the Unjury chicken soup.  I also had sf jello and 2oz. Of Greek yogurt.

Am I doing Ok?  I feel pretty good but do not go for my post-op appt until next Thursday.
