Protein Intake
I had the lapband surgery 20 months ago and my husband had the gastric bypass 3 yrs ago. A nutritionist told him that he shouldn't be taking in alot of protein now since it been longer than a year after surgery. My question is should I still be drinking protein drinking and keeping my protein level up or should I follow what the nutritionist told him to do. Thanks for the help! I am very confused.
You should follow what your surgical plan is!!! You two had totally different surgeries, so you can't follow his nuts advice. (bty. I think his nuts advice is way WRONG) I'm 2.5 years out and my body needs 100 grams of protein per day. Most nuts will say between 70-90 grams.
Sounds like both of you need to find a good nutritionist to go to and get you on a good path.
Education takes away confusion the best.

This is a question for your surgeon or nutritionist. Everyone (especially RNY) are going to be different.
