60-80 grams of Protein a day.

How much calories are you eating in a day? How much liquid do you get? Do you exercise?

My protein goal is 100 grams a day but I started at a much higher weight than you.

My surgeon's protein guidelines are: 100 grams for all men and anyone with a starting BMI of over 50, and 80 grams for everyone else.

As far out as you are you should be able to get more protein from food. What are you eating?

Are you getting in all of your fluids?

Are you taking all of your Vitamins and supplements as directed?

Are you exercising?

What does your NUT advise?

3 bites is not a scientific measurement. What is 3 bites in ounces or grams?

sorry if this sounds rude but this is the most basic and important information your nutritionist should have given you. This should have been the first thing they discussed with you. You should contact them and go over this with them

It depends on your plan. The plan should tell you how much Protein and how often you should be eating. At a lower starting weight - it is not surprising you lost slower than those with alot to lose.

I concur with @InnerSurferGirl. My program recommends a minimum of 100 grams of Protein a day. This far out from surgery I still cannot eat enough solid food to achieve that goal so I supplement with an powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shake and/or Quest bar 1-2-3 times a day depending on the day. I've been on a plateau for months now and continue to strive for 100 grams a day with 1200-1500 calories.

You should have received recommendations from your surgeon's office and the nutritionist. Give them a call for more information.

Agreed.

Even the NUT's who are the least helpful seem to cover this much, usually.

My programs goals are half your body weight in grams of Protein with 60-90 grams of that from supplements for the first three months. So needless to say, starting out at well over 300 pounds and at 309 currently, I rarely am meeting the goal at only 2 months out....so I'm mostly getting at least the 60 from supplements and usually between 100 and 110 for the day....so that's what I'm doing, but my plan might not look like your plan.

my plan is 50-60 g for women 70-80 for men.

I am always above that, but I stop counting when I get to that number.

I was told 0.3 * your weight is how many grams of Protein you should be consuming.

182 * .3 = 54.6 grams
