40g isn't right for ANYONE. What a ridiculous figure. But someone who is

trying to recover from surgery, is now experiencing malabsorption, impaired

volume and trying to lose weight?

My head is h urting too much to answer!

Hello Everyone;

I picked this message from another board. I dont think it is true. Can

someone

please verify it to be true or false. Thanks.

Hello- When i went to see the Nutrionist she told me 40 grams min. 60 max.

She said anything more than 60 grams is a waste. Pam IBu8Original

Hi everyone, My nutritionist told me everyone's protein gram intake will

be different. She said you take your weight times .3 and that should

equal what your body needs for the day.

EXAMPLE: 303 x .3 = 90grms

Just passing on what was told to me.

I am not challenging or disputing you or your nutritionist, but I

have a question. What does she do to differentiate between a 303

pound person who has a very proximal RNY and a 303 pound person who

has a very distal RNY? It seems to me that their intake needs would

be very different despite being the same weight.

Sheri, once I had spoke with and had decided I wanted to be

distal too. When I brought it up to my doc he said he didn't do distal

because it can cause diarrhea and it's too easy to become dehydrated.

So, I imagine no one is distal, probably almost everyone is proximal in

this surgery group. So, I don't have the answer for you.

Sorry,

That would be interesting, except that we're not trying to maintain a weight or

add weight. Not that protein would, but that formula might work to aim toward a

higher goal, not a lower goal. If that makes sense. There are the official

formulas, .8g protein per kg of wt, or for people in muscle wasting disease

(that's us) 1.2g per kg. But those theories don't work for us, either.

60g via supplement is the bottom end baseline. So, if you have more bypassed OR

want to lose faster OR build muscle, then you add more protein in 30g in

crements. Predigested proteins do not tax the organs in the same way that food

proteins do, so the rumored kidney damage is n/a with supplements.

the latest is 1g per lb of body wt, which is easy to figure, but again, makes no

sense for us. If Noelie is 303 today (298 next week), then 300g protein? I

think not. I'm 108#, but I need far more than that in protein, at least 120g,

maybe 180g more often. So again, n/a.

I want the free diarrhea promised with my distal. :-(

Everyone is not proximal.. I am now a 60 in distal.. is a 40 in

distal, and there are quite a few other distal RNY/s on the list.. the

majority of the list is most likely proximal, though.

Take care

Dear Dee Dee,

110 what? Centimeters bypassed? or 110 cc of common channel left? If 110

cc is what is bypassed, then , in my opinion, I would think that you are

proximal.

I hope that this helps..

Hi ...My doctor said I was 110 is that proximal?

Hi all. Tonight is my husbands work Christmas party. I hate mornings

because I'm sitting here thinking " I don't want to go to a Christmas Party.

I hurt sooooo bad! " but then by tonight I'll be ready to go. I gotta go

pick up my percocet and I will be fine. I gotta go to motor vehicles and to

Target today (my dd bought 6 boxes of " Pot of Gold " candy from Hershey for

her aunts. When I had my guild christmas party, I realized that I forgot to

buy stuff for my VP's and other's I needed to buy for so I used 5 of her

boxes. Target has them on sale!!) So, I gotta replace them. ugh.

Well, better get moving. It's soooooo cold here in Jersey today. You would

figure, since I live in SOUTH jersey, it would be warmer, now wouldn't you??
