Protein levels low ????



Recommended Posts

Met with endocrinologist last week and I posted about my Vitamin levels being pretty good so far but my Protein levels are low. Not dangerously low, but she was concerned. I was flabbergasted because I get at least 80 gms in a day. She asked how many carbs I was eating Per day and I get under 25 gms per day. She said I need to do 75 gms per day or my weight loss will slow down because I don't eat enough carbs for my body to burn fat.

It is hard to get all my protein in and Fluid and now to try and get 75 grams of carbs ?? How am I gonna manage this ? ????anyone else have similar issue ?

You could try foods that are both high Protein and high carb, like yogurt, Beans, and tofu?

Great idea !! That is why I love this site !! I'm having a "why didn't I think of that" moment ☺️

I was online for hours trying to revamp my diet ...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
