Protein question

How many grams of protein are required daily after surgery?

Judy, my dr says 60grams is my goal, it's very toughto make that though!I 've gotten about 30 today! DAWN

Judy, I used to know. There is a formula of "# of gms per pound" So it varies from person to person. When I started out I had a good deal of "Extra" healing to do (profile) So my Dr. required me to have a minimum of 95gms each day. It was hard to get all of it in, But- I never lost One Hair! Drop this question out on the Main Board to find that formula if You don't get it here. Best Wishes- Dx

My doc says 64 grams, but Christine's Doc gave her this: Minimum: (600-800 Calories) Protein 42G - Fat 15G - Carbs 60G Optimal: (1200 Calories) Protein 60G - Fat 50G - Carbs 120G Maximum (1600 Calories) Protein 80G - Fat 65G - Carbs 200G (maintance) Hope all this helps! Smoochies Arlies

Dr King's office recommends for me 70-90 grams per day. Sadly, I rarely make 90 but I most always get over 65.
