Went to my 3 month check-up have lost 52lbs, so feeling great. However, I have a large amount of Protein in my Urine, doctor did Blood Work and I am waiting to hear back from it. He said this was not typical, so I am kinda freaking out, Has anyone else had this happen? If so what was the outcome…….

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteinuria

"Proteinuria can also be caused by certain biological agents, such as bevacizumab (Avastin) used in cancer treatment, or by excessive Fluid intake (drinking in excess of 4 litres of Water per day)."

Could this be the reason?

It could be a lot of different things. I wouldn't consider the medical advice given here until you have had a chance to discuss it with your Dr.

Goldygirl I have to agree with Johnlatte, the only medical advice I would take is that of my Physician. Your health and well being is too important, I am a RN I would never advise anyone on health related issues on this or any other forum.

Sometimes losing large amounts of weight quickly can cause damage to the kidneys and subsequent loss of Protein in your urine. No it isn't normal but adding breadcrumbs likely won't help anything. Are you taking a lot of NSAIDs like ibuprofen and such? Excessive Protein intake can cause some 'spillage' into your ursine but prob not enough to concern your doctor. How much protein was in your urine?

Best of luck and whatever the cause I'm sure you're in good hands with your doctor!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
