i think for women its approximately 0.37 grams per lb of body weight ( i would use goal weight or ideal body weight). Excess Protein is stored as fat.

Mine is 100 grams. My surgeon recommends at least 80 for women with a starting BMI under 50 and at least 100 grams for all men and women with a starting BMI over 50.

My surgeon=4x8 oz of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (21 grams x4), two of those 8 oz servings are made with skim or red fat milk. So adding that protein=101 total. My starting BMI is slightly below 40.

Pre-op, getting enough Protein was critical, but what was more important for my surgeon was that I had absolutely no starches. My pre-op diet was basically Adkin's phase one.
