downsizingdebs 61 Posted April 8, 2016 Shoot for as many grams of Protein per day as your goal weight. 150 pounds=150 grams per day etc... Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's surprising. I'm not saying it's wrong by any means. I'm just surprised. So, if one's goal weight is 250, their Protein intake should be 250g? Wow! I guess it just goes to illustrate just how different all of the WLS programs are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
schwac01 0 Posted April 8, 2016 I am 10 weeks post bypass. What if you do not get in the recommended 64g? What does this effect? Could it stall your weight loss? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downsizingdebs 61 Posted April 8, 2016 Not getting enough Protein is terrible for your body especially post bypass. You would eat the Protein equal to a healthy goal weight. No one should have a goal weight of 250 unless they are a taller man. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaciii 38 Posted April 8, 2016 I haven't gotten to it yet because I was sleeved 3/30 but our program says get your 64's so 64oz Water and 64gram Protein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one should have a goal weight of 250 unless they are a taller man. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App If a male weighed 500# plus, they could very well have a goal weight of 250#. If I am following the poster's program, I would aim to ingest 250gr of protein/day? I'm just asking. Is that what that particular program aims for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted April 8, 2016 Please discuss the right amount of Protein for you with your Dr or NUT. Too much Protein can cause problems. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yes, at the vey least it will stall your weight loss. If you don't get enough Protein your body will consume itself (muscles and organs like your heart). We need Protein to keep our metabolisms running, to build and repair muscle, skin, hair, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am still pondering this program's recommendation for protein intake. There are many WLS folks whose goal weight could very well be 250#. My question is--according to the above post, are those folks supposed to ingest 250g/daily? I am not being negative or accusatory. I am simply asking the question. Looking forward to learning...

FocusOnMeNow 599 Posted April 9, 2016 I am 7.5 months out. I do about 50g a day in "supplements (shake and bar) alone plus actual food. I think I'm getting about 75 or more g a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FocusOnMeNow 599 Posted April 9, 2016 Depending on your size too many grams could burn out ur kidneys. 150 or 250 sounds like quite a bit but best to go with what your Dr recommended, because larger people may need more. Also you want to spare muscle mass and lose fat so you may need more Protein.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
