Hi all, I will be having my surgery Sept 17, 2008 exactly what is the Min about of protien i should be taking in daily after my surgery.

Thanks in advance!!!

My Doctor wants 64 grams. I told him I was getting about 50 and he said it was pretty good. He said protein is needed for the healing process. Good luck with your surgery!

This varies with docs...mine wanted 40-60 gms week or 2 after surgery. Now I have to have 60-90. Again, varies as well as if you're male or female and how much exercise you do.

My doctor says 40 but that seems low to me, I aim for 50-60.

i get about 30 now and im doing fine with just that

Make sure you get at least 60-80 grams of protien each day. I am one of the 30% or so patients who has been losing my hair. I can see that it is regrowing, but I am still losing. EAT/DRINK YOUR PROTIEN.

I get 42 in the morning, 25 during the day and at night another 42.

wow 42 morning, 25 lunch, 42 night, what do you eat? I'm not banded yet, surgery set for November and I'm nervous about not knowing what I'm going to eat.

Jaculin,

I am still on liquids. So in order to stay full I nmust get between 80-100 grams of Protein a day. In the weeks to come I will replace some of my shakes with food Proteins.

I will be able to eat food in about two weeks. Your doctor may not have the same rules about protein as mine does.

Now that I'm off the liquid stage, I'm not allowed to have shakes. I'm only allowed them the first 24 hours after a fill. Period. Solid protein only. so check with your doctor first.
