We have talked in our groups before about how much our bodies actually need a day. My doctor said women should try and get 60-80 grams per day. I've heard that if you eat 80 or more grams our bodies really don’t use it they just get rid of it. Can you please let us know at what point our bodies stop absorbing protein. Thanks, Rachel Petersen

Hi Rachel... If I am deciphering your question correctly, are you asking for a dietican's response to this? If so, maybe ask them on the nutrition forum, and someone can help you.. Worth a shot.. I know each surgeon/nut has different views on this. Mine is higher than yours, and some are lower. I now go with what makes me feel good as well. Here is the forum link for you to ask them, if they answer maybe come back here and let us know what they said? http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/nutrition/a,messageboard/b oard_id,5389/ Take care..
