I am very healthy and I eat right, I kind of trust my nut and that is why I am wondering what an average intake would be if I can't get 90, it isn't so much the weight loss as it is the feeling I have during the days when I get the protein. I am in my 8th week and I do not want to lose any muscle. I am a elementary teacher and I have an active life style, less since surgery because my nut said since I am only getting 600-800 calories I shouldn't burn more then 250-300. I want to get there but if I can't how much until I am totally unhealthy?

90 grams of protein=no weight loss, 65-70 I lose a pound! I was put on my normal diet 6weeks post op, I struggle to get in the protein.I didn't lose any weight since that day, 1 week and 3 days, I took in about 65 yesterday and lost a pound as of today. I also don't feel myself when I force that amount of protein. I am very nervous about sticking to what I was told. I am drinking lots of water (liquid, including protein shakes) about 70oz. a day! I don't want to cause trauma to my body or risk weight gain. what is the least you can do without risk?

Thanks! I feel great and have tons of energy when I get about 60grams, when I achieve 90 I feel very heavy and weighted if that makes sense, I find myself forcing myself to complete tasks. I have had tons of energy, day 2 of rebellion! I think 90 is something I will have to work up to if ever, I find I do better with natural protein and not shakes, I have started to add protein to my smoothies.

Fluids are very important, I am 9 weeks out but my first postop appointment they walked me down to the ER. I was severely dehydrated and my heart rate was out of control from the dehydration. So do your best to get in fluids! Good luck! It is fun to see the weight come off!
