Protein Intake

I recently read an article about weight loss that said to eat your goal weight in grams of protein.  I want to get to my goal of 150 pounds, so I would eat 150 grams of protein a day.  I am lucky to get in 60 grams a day.  I am just curious if anyone else has heard this before?  Also I am curious as to how much protein everyone is getting these days.  What are they recommending post op?  I am 8 years post op and I know things have changed since my surgery. 

Thanks,
Stephanie E

I was told 60 - 80g.  I have figured out that I need closer to 100g.  I had never heard to eat your goal weight in protein grams.  I dont know if I could do that.  Just to get to 100, I have to drink 2 protein drinkd a day.

I was told 60-80 as well. More than that seems a bit much.
