Protein Requirement Confusion, Please Help

[Antonella]

Hi everyone!

I am in the process of going through a wellness program that is preparing me for bariatric surgery, more specifically the sleeve. When I met with my nutritionist she told me to have the following:
Morning: 30 g protein
Snack: 15 g protein
Lunch: 30 g protein
Snack: 15 g protein
Dinner: 30 g lean protein

I have been having protein in the range of the 120's. Is this too much protein? It is confusing, especially when they tell you to have a minimum of 60-80 g of protein. Am I supposed to stay at that range? I was never told the maximum amount and I cannot find it in any of my readings. Thank you!

Antonella,

Hi. Both of my dieticians and one of my other doctors want my to strive for 100 to 120 g of protein per day, but if I consume 60 to 80, they'll be okay with that.

Post-op, my goal will be between 60 and 90 g per day. I am getting the sleeve bariatric surgery, too.
