I am almost 2 years out and can't remember how many grams of protein I am supposed to have each day.

The ASMBS recommends 1.1 grams protein per kilogram of ideal body weight.

GENERALLY speaking, 60 grams minimum. Many opt for higher numbers tho.

It depends on what procedure you've had.

80 is my minimum but I usually get 90-100 every day. I had VSG and don't malabsorb so I don't need the same amount as someone with RNY or DS.
