Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 - That was what I was told to begin with, too, but at the bariatric surgery conference they determined that 60 grams was probably sufficiant.. but ask YOUR doctor.. because My doctor told me 90 grams.. and since healing uses protein, I figure anything I take over 60 grams goes towards fast healing. Sounds to me for a fresh postop, you're doing GREAT! But.. if your doc says 60.. trust him. Hugs, Liane > Hi, I had my DS on 6/12. I feel great.
