60-90g of Protein a day. MY doctor told me to drink as much protein as I can handle. After a week i can only handle a cup or two a day of the Protein Shake and barely two cups of Water. Everyone is different though. Did your doctor give you a booklet of foods you could eat during each phase?? I can upload mine if you want when i get home.

Take your BMI and multiply by .36. So if your BMI is 34.7 then you multiply it by .36 to get 85 grams of Protein a day.

Don't know if I'm doing something wrong ? 34.7 x .36 = 12.492

Your Doctor should be telling you the amounts.

Why are you posting this on here???? You could have called me. Girl you just had surgery you are going to feel weak. That's normal to feel weak you just had surgery like what 4 days ago and you need at least 60 grams of Protein a day. Are you looking for the protein to give you strength?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
