Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hello All, I am writing in hopes of getting some new ideas as to how to help my patient. She is a young 31 yo F s/p RNY x 11 mo with PMH including dyslipidemia and endometriosis. She lost about 50# (33% EWL) in the first 6 months and has been on a plateau for the last 5 months. She exercises with a trainer 2-3x per week and keeps a food log...consuming ~ 1000-1200 kcal. Her course has also been notable for a low alb level (2.7 from a month ago) therefore she aims for 100 g pro daily. However her baseline Alb is on the low side (pre-op 3.4). She is very frustrated and disappointed with her poor wt loss. Any Advice? Thanks in advance, Boyer RD, LDN Bariatric Surgery Nutritionist Beth Israel Deaconess 330 Brookline Ave Shapiro 348 Boston, MA 02215 www.bidmc.harvard.edu/wls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
