My surgeon suggested adding a protein shake to your normal daily requirement for your type of WLS.

 Hi, my Nut wants me to aim for only 60g a day. Several days before surgery, I started drinking 3 protein shakes a day (while still staying under 1200 cal) and was averaging around 100g/day. Post surgery, the first few days I haven't really had much of an appetite so I'm still drinking 2-3 shakes a day to keep my protein up probably close to 80g+ a day. I wasn't told by my plastic surgeon how much to increase my protein, just that I needed to increase it. Hope that helps.

 I increased my intake to around 100 grams per day because i thought more would be better with my surgery.  My pre op bloodwork showed i was actually consuming too much protein - can't remember the actual lab result but the doc advised me to lower my intake to around 60 grams.
