60-80 grams a day, probably.  Ask your nutritionist to be sure.

My post-op instructions were 60+g of protein. I've also seen recommendations of 0.8g/kg - 1.3g/kg of lean body mass (~0.36g/lb - 0.59g/lb), based on your exercise level (lower=sedentary).

 

Interestingly, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (per the Institute of Medicine) is 46g for adult women and 56g for adult men.

April:  HW- 323, SW-310, CW-159 (as of 9/25/15), Goal- 140; Pre-op (-13), M1 (-17), M2 (-16), M3 (-14), M4 (-13), M5 (-12), M6 (-8), M7 (-12), M8 (-8), M9 (-8), M10 (-5), M11 (-7), M12 (-5), M13 (-7), M14 (-0), M15 (-1), M16 (-5), M17 (-5)
