60-90g of Protein a day. MY doctor told me to drink as much protein as I can handle. After a week i can only handle a cup or two a day of the Protein Shake and barely two cups of Water. Everyone is different though. Did your doctor give you a booklet of foods you could eat during each phase?? I can upload mine if you want when i get home.

Take your BMI and multiply by .36. So if your BMI is 34.7 then you multiply it by .36 to get 85 grams of Protein a day.

Don't know if I'm doing something wrong ? 34.7 x .36 = 12.492

Your Doctor should be telling you the amounts.

Why are you posting this on here???? You could have called me. Girl you just had surgery you are going to feel weak. That's normal to feel weak you just had surgery like what 4 days ago and you need at least 60 grams of Protein a day. Are you looking for the protein to give you strength?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
