Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Phyllis - Are you doing stool softeners? It should help make it easier to go. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY - 5/21/02 Dr. Chua 5'8 " - 314/221/150-175 Hi Deb, I am also a nurse, and this is what my gastroenterologist orders for the prep for the very reason that it DOES a good job and people will be compliant. There are very few people that are compliant with a gallon of golytely. Actually since the RNY I think I will need the Fleets phospho plus dynamite for my next prep prior to a colonoscopy! man! everyone told me I would have diarrhea. Never having been blessed with children, this is the closes I can come to thinking I am possibly giving birth once a week!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Protein shakes are absorbable protein. Yogurt & baby food meats are sugars, and eggs--they're just calories to me. They might have a little food value, might not. Your pouch space, so spend it wisely Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 The protein in shakes is the best absorbed by us, that is whey protein. The protein in food is only partially absorbed depending on our surgery type and the length of bypass. That is why it is so important to supplement with at least 2 shakes a day so we get the 60 gram minimum in. If you are distal that means you need even more.
