Kidney pain after increase of protein



Recommended Posts

I have an appointment with my PHP this week . But I have a concern and question for you pros. I never ate Breakfast and lunch was a hit and miss but dinner everyday, now that I have started this 6 times a day eating change like all of you my Protein intake has increased a lot. I am diabetic with no previous kidney issues. I have followed this plan for a little over 7 weeks , the last week I have had pain in my right kidney and it aches all the time now. I have kidneys stones but the pain is different with them. Have any of you had an issue with the increased protein intake?

I am so inspired by all of you I just want to send out a huge hug for everyone of you.

My surgery isn’t until October ( crossing my fingers ) .

Best to discuss this with your doc and have some tests done:) Could also be gallbladder if you still have yours.

7 weeks isn't really long enough to develop kidney issue from excess Protein intake. Besides, you would have to be taking in massive amounts protein to cause damage. As in the 300 gram a day level.

      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?
