112 grams of protein

My doctor told me to get 112 grams of Protein. They said this is calculated off my height and gender. (5'11" male)

How much protein were others told to get? 112 seems like a TON... especially on pureed foods! I am drinking Protein drinks (27 grams each) and throwing Beneprotein powder in everything I can and still can't quite meet this every day. :S

I know it will be easier once I can eat solid food but man it's hard. My current personal reasonable goal is 90g/day since I can handle that.... barely.

I was told to take between 45 - 60g of Protein a day.

I purchased Protein Powder called NECTER, an 8oz serving has 23 grams. I drink 3 a day (still on liquids). The Dr. said once I progress onto solids I can adjust the protein drink according to what I eat.

Banded on 10/25/07 - 3 weeks of liquids, one week of mushies then into solids.

I have lost 25lbs since banding.
