How much protein, calories, and carbs are recommended?

There should be a consensus! I see everyone on this site with a different daily amount..

I asked my surgical team, including the nurse and nutritionist, and they all say not to count calories, or carbs or protein! Just eat a balanced meal of 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food per meal and I will be okay.. I prefer to follow a high protein, low carb meal plan... Apparently they haven't heard of this.?

Advice.. ?

Your diet should be very specific to your surgical team, but if they really aren't giving you guidance, most patients I see on here are given a protein minimum of 60 grams per day. Calories depend on the phase you are in, and I really don't tend to worry much about them because between meeting the protein goal and being full, I usually fall into a pattern that's good for me. As for carbs, it's a personal preference. I try to aim for no more than 50; some very lo carbers on here don't eat more than 20 or so. I hope your team will give you some more feedback, cause that's really the way to go, but this is what I've seen for myself

No more than 20
