FancyChristine15 810 Posted December 31, 2018 I was told to get 60 right out of surgery, then they upped it to 80g daily. I usually shoot for 100g though. Every plan is different though, so I would double check with your doctor or nutritionist. Good luck and Happy New Year! 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swanton_Bomb 522 Posted December 31, 2018 I was told 60-80. Some days I struggle to get in 60, I am 7 weeks out, but it is getting easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda Dutton LPC 217 Posted January 1, 2019 It's definitely different for every surgical program. Generally, most surgeons say it's 60-80 because that is simpler than what the true recommendation is, which is about 1/2 of your goal or ideal weight. So since goal for women averages out to be around 120-160 (depending on lots of factors, but it's pretty much the typical range), that's where the 60-80g comes from.~SW: 278 CW: 165~ RNY 1/5/2005"What got you here won't get you there."

Frustr8 7,886 Posted January 1, 2019 My surgeon/ endoscopic person wanted me at 90-120 for ulcer healing, 1/2 9f my goal weight would be approximate a. little less than 90, wasn't getting it P.O. so I am on TPN, working it all out. And how long this all goes, in the hands of the bariatric Gods, the Saints in Heaven, my doctors, my body's reactions. This is. a story📖 still being written📝, a lot of plot twists and I have no clue how it all resolves.💻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
