How much protein a day after surgery?

Can anyone tell me how many grams of protein a day is suggested for after surgery?

    You'll want to talk to your NUT for their specific recommendations. But I believe average is 60-70g a day. You'll definitely need to work up to it if you just had surgery.

    Definitely ask your NUT.

    Mine is 100 grams. For my surgeon, all men and anyone over 50 BMI, our goal is 100 grams. I think the lower BMI women were given a goal of 80 grams but I wouldn't swear to it.

    Thank you, @ and @@Inner Surfer Girl for sharing what you know. I will be talking with my nut about it soon. Hoping to be ready for bypass in February. I appreciate your comments.
