Congrats! I'm glad things are going better!

Though I did want to mention that at my post op nutritional class they said the 60-80g thing is because the recommended amount for women is 60g and the amount for men is 80g, rather than it being a range you're supposed to be within.

Now I'm confused. Did your RD mean that women should not exceed 60 grams? That seems contrary to the advice I see here - that more protein is generally better, with many women aiming for 100 or more.

The more the better. I aim for over 100 grams!

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

No, it just means that the minimum for women is 60, and the minimum for men is 80. Getting more is great, but for women struggling with getting enough protein at whatever stage they're in, it can be nice to know that they're doing well so long as they meet the 60.
