Protein Intake

[Reddi4change 27]

Hey Everyone,

Im just past the 2nd month of the 3 month process. All my tests have been done, just waiting for the doc to send my psych eval reports to the office.

I tried taking in the reccomended amount of Protein but I am thinking it may not work for me. Can't and overdose of protein shut down your kidneys? Is this the part where you say, what works for one person doesnt work for other and you have to do what's best for you??

Have you found that the overdose of protein was counterproductive?

When I went to my Bariatric classes, I was told that this is not a problem with gastric surgeries ( Roux n y, gastric sleeve and lap band) because in part of all the Fluid we have to drink ( 64 oz) and the body's need for extra Protein to heal and maintain now that be eat less. I don't think the grams of protein will be a problem, but, you should ask you doctor. You will be monitored though with blood lab work and one of the labs measures the amount of protein. Kidney function is also monitored. If either is too high, your doctor would and should know and adjust your diet accordingly.
