How much protien should u have per day?

[RainyDay 0]

Hi, I'm new to the board... I had my surgery June 1st and my Dr had me drinking 1 protien shake a day.. @ almost 3 weeks I'm not sure if I should only be having just the 1.. How much grams of protien should I have per day.. What do you other Post sleevers recomend? Looking for any help I can get..

Thanks

Welcome to the boards! I need 95g of Protein a day. I'm not sure how much you would need though think it depends on you age and sex. Does your Dr have a nutritionist that would be who to ask.

My doc says for the sleeve that a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 90.

My guidelines are 80 grams a day. In the beginning it is hard to get that in.

Thank you all for your help!! .. U all seem to have about the same answer so I will try and reach that amount.. My doc had me drinking 1 shake that had 30g but obviously that is nowhere near the 60-90 you all are drinking.. I'm thinking that is why my weight loss seems so slow compared to what I was expecting for the first couple of weeks..
