80-90 grams but doc would like to see 100 grams. Yeah, that's not going to happen.

I'm getting 70-80 pretty consistently - I'm just over 4 weeks post op

My NUT uses a formula - times your weight by .3 to find out the daily Protein target. So a 250 lb person needs 75 grams, a 200 lb person needs 60 grams, and so on.

90 for me, I think ladies are a little less if I'm not mistaken

My nutritionist recommends at least 60 for everyone but wants us all to get 80 to 100 grams. I get right around 96 or so grams on a good day.

Never said I don't drink shakes. I drink two 30 g Premier Protein shakes a day. Sometimes I will do an Isopure tea instead of one of the shakes, which was 40 g. I get the other 30 odd grams from food.

Also remember it depends on your activity level. The more active you are the more Protein you need. I shoot for 130 without the use of shakes. I use egg whites in my drinks.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
