Needs for protein --- Long term post-op?

Will be 12 years post-op and am curious on needs on protein.

I was very strict and careful 1st year and went from 368 to 200 in 1 year. Watched and counted everything I ate. But got pregnant 1 year post op and a huge regain through my pregnancy (scared the baby would miss nutrients and over ate) to re-lose right after baby some of the weight and have maintained +45 poundssince the last 8 years.

1st of September back at the gym and want to count and chart what I will be eating.

Looking to at least lose 30 pounds.

Pitoune, best wishes to you on your re-lose program. You sound determined to get back to where you'd like to be.

FYI, I'm a sleeve patient 4 years post-op, and I still aim for 100 grams of protein daily. That seems to be my happy protein place. I also eat a lot of high-fiber fruits and veggies (I aim for 8/day), and that in combination with the protein really fuels my body well.

FYI, I still after all these years have a protein shake for breakfast most days, which adds 25 grams of protein and only 170 calories. Not necessarily recommending that you do that -- just sharing something that I do.
