Topic: how long do you malabsorb protein?
I know those pesty littlie vili in your intestines grow and adapt and the malabsorption decreases. I know the vitamin malabsorption is forever but the protein reabsorption..can that be measured? Is it why there is regain or bounceback?
Pre Rny I was on a very low protein diet for my kidneys. Now I eat about 70-80 gms/day.
Does anyone know?

I can't do drama. I'm the boring police.
I don't need to bribe those docs..someday the phone will ring and that will be my day. I don't sweat it at all.

Hi Annie,
Glad your here... I guess we just have to learn not to let others control what we eat. I'm lucky that I buy all the food and do the preparation.... but while I'm at other's homes/travelling etc I make sure that I have food available that I want to eat. I also go to a monthly "wine Dinner" which is at someone's home. The host makes the main dish and other's bring the appetizers,desert etc. I call the hostess if the main dish is something I don't want to eat and see if there is a way to get some straight "protein"..... most are accomodating. This month its Paella... I'll be picking out the protein from the rice...

I had my Rny 12/08 (I'm coming up on two years). I started at 378 and currently weigh 201. I had surgery to qualify to be placed on the kidney transplant list. You can't be SMO and be on the list. I've been on the list for about a year so my main goal is met. I fear regain because I want to stay on the list.
I'm domestically partnered (27 years) and have a 9 year old boy. We have a cat and a little dog named Lucy.
I'm a nurse and I work at night.

Hi, My name is Annie and I am a bandster... I do like my band, but I am having a few issues. I was banded 6/9/09 at 265 and have not had an adjustment since 10/12/09 at 219. I lost my health insurance after that, and as posted on another board my surgeon charges a ridiculous amount that I just could not afford after losing my job. Well I have a new job and am getting an adjustment early next month, and we will see if bandy and I can work together again. Right now I just feel wide open most of the time. I did get down to 199 on Valentines day, but now am floating from 210 - 215 again, even as high as 218 a couple of weeks ago. This I know is due to visiting family and not having the best options for food available. If SIL is home, she is the only one allowed to cook in her kitchen, so I was stuck, I will never been in that position again. 6 weeks of HELL is what that was, as even though she knows what I should not eat, she does make dinner with pasta nightly, and it is always a casserole so hard to not eat the pasta.
SO, we will be back home tomorrow, and I will be back to my bariatric friendly kitchen, and pray that any of these extra lbs can go away again. I miss my measuring cups, my scale, and all the protein friendly recipes/bariatric that I left at home.
The one good thing is that I am still in a 14/16 that has not changed, although I was down to a 12 for a while. I want my 12's back by spring as they were mostly white jeans.
Thank you for starting this group.

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
Topic: RE: How do you maintain
So glad to be here! I lost about 87lbs but went several months w/ out my band Summer of '09 due to a leak and having to have a hysterectomy prior to repairing my leak. I gained about 15 pounds during that time and have really struggled to get it off. Finally went to the doctor three weeks ago. I was told to cut out all bad cards which I did and I have dropped 8 lbs!!!! I have also really stepped up my exercise as I am traning to run, yes, I said RUN, my first 5K on Nov. 14th! Just something I want to do before I turn the big 50!!
