How much Protein should you take in daily after surgery

Check with your doctor..if you are just out of surgery.. other than that it is 60-80g daily.

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!

I was told 60-80. Some days I struggle to get in 60, I am 7 weeks out, but it is getting easier.

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.

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.💻

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
