I am 5 years out. Once I reach my goal weight, how much protein is enough?

    It is my understanding from my surgeon that I need around 70 every day forever. Check with your surgeon or visit a dietician/nutritionist for post bariatric patients. They can tell you for sure.

    My understanding from the nutritionist is that we need anywhere from 70 to 90 gram of daily protein. A bit more if you are exercising alot. I rarely drink protein shakes .... I get my protein from foods like meat and dairy and legumes.
