My surgeon recommends at least 50 grams per day for women over 25. I'm still on the liquid phase and am averaging about 70 grams a day with just Carnation Instant Breakfast and Adkins shakes.< /p>

I was told 60 grams of protien a day.

The ideal amount of Protein relates to what your ideal lean body mass should be based on your height and sex.

I am 5'4/F and my nutritionist set my daily Protein goal to 66.

I'm 5'4", 33yo, female, and at my pre-op diet consult I was 245 pounds and my nut said at least 55-65 grams/day.

If you know your body fat percentage then you can figure it out. It is 1 gram of Protein for each kilogram (2.2 pounds) of lean body mass. Or you can find a lean body mass calculator online.

I think the more Protein, the better. My nutritionist/surgeon said to try to get 70g a day, I'm usually getting 100g+

My doc's office recommended 60 grams per day. I actually have better weight loss if I get around 80 per day. 2 shakes a day give me approx. 50 grams, so it's pretty easy to get.

My nutritionist says 60-80 grams daily.
