Hi everyone!!

I am 12 years post op and have managed to.maintain my loss pretty well until COVID and remote working, which allowed for my grazing habit to kick in. I need to get on track. I order my protein and I'm getting ready. Does anyone know the recommended protein intake so far out? Am I supposed to follow the same guidelines (I think it was somewhere around 80 to 100g per day). Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated ?

I'm not as far out as you but none of my guidelines have changed since I got off the food progression back to normal food; the only thing that gets adjusted is my vitamins/supplements based on the regular blood tests so I would say stick to your non-healing post op plan for protein, hydration, etc.

(almost) seven years out. My clinic said 60+ grams of protein and they never said we could cut back after we reached maintenance - so I assume that means for life. I personally have to average around 100 grams a day because if I don't, my prealbumin level tanks - but of course that's just because of my individual issue. I would say unless your labs indicate otherwise, I would stick with what you were told when you went through the program 12 years ago.
