Check with your doctor..if you are just out of surgery.. other than that it is 60-80g daily.

I was told to get 60 right out of surgery, then they upped it to 80g daily. I usually shoot for 100g though. Every plan is different though, so I would double check with your doctor or nutritionist. Good luck and Happy New Year!

I was told 60-80. Some days I struggle to get in 60, I am 7 weeks out, but it is getting easier.

It's definitely different for every surgical program. Generally, most surgeons say it's 60-80 because that is simpler than what the true recommendation is, which is about 1/2 of your goal or ideal weight. So since goal for women averages out to be around 120-160 (depending on lots of factors, but it's pretty much the typical range), that's where the 60-80g comes from.

"What got you here won't get you there."

My surgeon/ endoscopic person wanted me at 90-120 for ulcer healing, 1/2 9f my goal weight would be approximate a. little less than 90, wasn't getting it P.O. so I am on TPN, working it all out.
And how long this all goes, in the hands of the bariatric Gods, the Saints in Heaven, my doctors, my body's reactions. This is. a story? still being written?, a lot of plot twists and I have no clue how it all resolves.?
