I am just curious about how many grams of protein all the different doctors prescribe for all of you. I have heard everything from just what you eat to 80-100 grams per day. I am really curious. Let me know, please

Hello Dee,

My surgery is July 21st. The program that I am in recommends 70 grams of protein a day but I do think that each doctor/program has different goals. Good luck on your journey! Diane

Hi Dee! Congrats again on your surgery date! My doctor recommends 70-90g of protein per day. The first few days it may be hard to get down enough, so as much as your little pouch can handle.

Try for 1.5 oz every 20 minutes if you can. ---jan---
