Protein

How much protien does your program require? Mine = 90 - 120 grams a day

My nutritionist has us aim for 50-60 grams a day. I think this is lower from what I have heard from other friends.

My nut says 70 grams of protein a day for the first 6 months. I would have to drink protein shakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I had to get 90. Kay

aim for 60 to 70 grams is what I should of typed.

My nnut. says to try for 65 g right now, I will see what happens at my six month appointment with her if it will change. Good luck. Steph

Our dietician says to go by our weight. She says to multiply our weight by .2 for the minimum, .3 for average, and .4 for the maximum. I try to aim for above 90 grams daily. On the weekends I slack a lil bit. I now eat 4 times a day with one of those being a shake. Janet how do you get in 120 grams? I know it can be done, but was just wondering if you drink a lot of shakes or if most of it is by food. April

My surgeon has kept me at 60 or so grams per day. He did tell me last week to not drink protein shakes anymore, to get it from protein bars.

My surgeon says 100g. I told them I get about 60 and they said that was fine.

60 grams minimum

I'm suppose to aim for 50 to 60 grams a day.
