I have a question about protein requirements. My RD recommends 50-60 grams / day. I have seen higher numbers too. What's your recommendation?

Mine is minimum of 70, but they said it was okay to work up to it the first couple weeks after surgery. Ultimately, my guidelines are for 70-100 grams of protein a day.

I wonder why they make it so high. I know with the R en Y the protein amounts have to be that high with malabsorption...but with the sleeve..in theory..we shouldn't have that. Would be nice if someone could standardize the recommendation. That makes me wonder if I am getting enough!

mine was set at 60g-120g. So to me that is a VERY large range. I have been doing well at 60 and find if I am in a stall I just up it for a few days and start dropping weight again.
