After bariatric surgery, It is usually recommended to take 60-80 grams of protein per day.
Women are typically recommended around 60 grams per day, and Men are typically recommended around 80 grams per day.
When you are looking to purchase a protein shake, look for whey protein that is low in sugar. Spacing your protein throughout the day, is a safer, more effective way to get the protein that you need.
It is important to track your protein as you go through the bariatric process.
1 Ounce of chicken, beef, fish, or eggs is going to be about 7 grams of clean protein.
Protein supplements will be necessary for a time, but gradually you will transition into whole foods.
