How much Protein were you all advised to take? I was told between 65-75g, but I noticed many were told way more than that. Just curious.

I was told 80-95g/day and I thought that was kinda high. I believe that it should be like 0.8g/kg....but I really am not sure. I'm no nutritionist lol

My nutritionist said between 60-80 for me. I think it may be a bit based on the nutritionist but also our starting weight. Protein makes you feel fuller for longer so there must be a goal in their mind.

My husband who is at the correct weight asked my nutritionist for him and she said he needed 100g of Protein.< /p>

At first my goal was 80 grams. At 3 months, my doctor wanted me to increase it to 100. I get that or more every day.

My understanding is that it's based on starting BMI. For my surgeon, males and anyone over 50 BMI's Protein requirement is 100 grams. So, it depends on where you start.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
