Protein in Urine and Anemic



Recommended Posts

I am new to this site but i was banded June 2009. I have had a very slow weight loss journey, have lost about 50 pds, no gains. My mom became very sick in 2008 - 2009 and I was depressed and did not focus on eating right, taking the Vitamins, or the Protein. Just had blood work done with my regular doctor and the results came back: protein in urine and anemic. I meet with her this week and have been very worried. I have not kept up with the protein, i can not eat much meat and hate whey protein (and the other protein drinks) and i was not taking vitamins on a regular basis. Has anyone else had protein in urine and been told they are anemic. I have been feeling exhausted and horrible. I started taking all the vitamins a week ago, see my doc thurs, and i am going to force myself to drink protein starting today. AND....my dentist said my two front teeth are decaying and i have tiny cracks in them. i have never had teeth issues in my entire life, not even cavities. I guess all these issues are a result of not eating right, no vitamins, and not enough protein. Has anyone else had these issues???? suggestions are needed. thanks!!!

Yes, I have had Protein in my urine but mine was due to a certain type of birth control pill I was on. I stopped taking them and problem solved. I was anemic because I don't like too much meat and survived off of carbs mostly. I have increased my protein intake but it's still a struggle to eat all of my meat first. I eat mostly white meat and fish.

Protein in the urine can be an indication of chronic kidney disease. There are a number of diseases (e.g. diabetes, hypertension) that can cause the kidneys to fail over time. Your doctor should be looking for causes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
