How much protein each day?

I've heard anywhere from 40 gms to 100 gms. What do you think works best or is considered adequate? I am 4 weeks post-op and sick with cold and flu like symptoms that I can't seem to get over. I am thinking it may be the lack of protein. (I am good with vitamins and minerals.)
