Too Much protein

Pacomomma · May 30, 2005

I went to see m doc the other day and brought blood work that was ordered by another doc. According to my blood work I had a high Protein level. My doc told me to focus more on the whole picture,rather than concentrating just on the protein. I now have veggies and fruit with every meal. Just thought everone should know.

Pacomomma~ Do you know how much Protein you were consuming each day when the Dr. said your protein levels were to high?

How did the doctor measure your Protein? Was it a urine test?

If you're eating around 60g's of Protein a day, you should be absolutely fine. Only people with kidney problems have trouble with higher levels of protein.

If you have protein in your urine or are having trouble tolerating 60g's of protein a day, I would ASK MORE QUESTIONS of your doctor. When I had elevated protein (on the Adkins diet... way before the band), the doctor did a 24-hour urine catch on me. (can I tell ya how fun it was to carry around the pee-jug for 24 hours?? lol).

Anyway... I'd want to know more from the doc.

Hugs,

It was the total Protein level on my blood work. I can't tell you how many grams I was eating but I do know that I was focused on eating protein.

hello everyone. I am very tired all the time. I have no energy. Not sure what is causing this. Looking for some type of Protein chewable or liquid, if anyone knows of anything please let me know.
