Protein Guidelines



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what range of grams of Protein your doctor gave you. I've seen some as high as 120 & as low as 50. Are you losing fast or slow? I've been around 70-80 & have been losing slower than most. Also, what about carbs? Do you count the ones from fruits & veggies in your total? Someone said they didn't. May need to change up my routine. Thanks so much!!

I had my surgery 11/1 and I'm on 60 grams of Protein a day. I still haven't had bread... pasta... rice... I stay away from those carbs. I've lost 102 pounds! Don't eat much fruit because of the sugar ... even thought natural sugar it taste really sweet to me now.

Where did you start at as far as weight? I was doing hardly any carbs but my nut said I should add some veggies & fruit. Still hasn't helped any. Any problems with Hair loss at 60 gms? I can go back & do the liquid if I need to. Lol. I was sleeved on 10/17 & only lost 75 lbs!

I started at 309... hey 75 pounds is great! My dr said 60 grams of Protein a day and then add a vegetable if you can and then a fruit. I never make it to the fruit. The protein stil stuffs me! I do try to eat veggies everyday!
