Ok guys, I am 1 year post op and have lost 100 lbs...YAE!!! how much protein do you all take in daily and when do you all take it? I've noticed that when I take my protein 54g(shakes) daily I tend to loose more weight than when I opt not to take it. Any advice/comments give will be appreciated.

I just came back from my nutritionist and thats why i know this

when you don't consume your protein that you need your body begins to break down muscle protein in order to obtain it.. than everything you eat it stores as fat...therefore doing the opposite of what you want wls to do...therefore it is VITAL to get your protein in everyday

When I'm on my game I shoot for 80-100 grams of protein... that's WHEN I'm on my game, lol

The more things the change, the more they're still the same.

I stopped protein suppliments at 6 months out... I get all my protein from food.
During the losing phase 40% of my calories were to be protein, during the maintenance phase 30% of my calories should be protein - I aim for a minimum of 80g protein a day.

yes to other things said....and protein fills you up properly and the feeling of being full lasts longer so you are probably eating less even if you don't realize.
