What is the daily amount of protein they want you to take in after surgery.

Depends on who you ask.  The ASMBS recommends 1.1 grams per kilogram of ideal body weight, which works out to about half a gram per pound of your ideal weight.

When I went to the nutrition class at Barix, they passed out a bariatric bible to each of us.  There is a spot in front where they customize just how much protein, fat and sugar to have each day.  they wrote in 70 grams of protein for me.

40 is very, very low.  That would be the right amount if your goal weight was only 80 lbs, according to the ASMBS guidelines.

60 minimum by my doc.  I shot for at least 80.

60g is usually the minimum, but many doctors want 75 or 80.

My doc goes by height. Im in the 5'3"-5'7" range so I'm supposed to get 80 g/protein daily.

How does he calculate the amount based on height?
