Question for HCMC patients...

Hello - I had RNY in August, '08 and have been happy with my results.  I have one concern about the post-surgical nutrition plan at Hennepin Bariatrics, however.  I read soooo many posts on this web site that talk about daily protien consumption, getting in at least 60mg per day, etc.  But HCMC, from my experience, has not put much emphasis on protien consumption.  My nutritionist just told me that one-half of all of my meals should be a protien source, but a minimum daily amount of protien was never recommended or even discussed - it was mostly about keeping calorie consumption in check.   Since HCMC does not recommend snacks between meals, it would be really hard to get in the amount of protien some of the OH members talk about.   

I'm just wondering what you all have done, and whether you've tried to get in a certain amount of protien each day.  I have a follow-up appt. next week and will discuss then, but wanted to ask another panel of experts!

Thanks so much!

My husband asked the same ?  They said that after your surgery, your body adapts to how much protein you need or something like that.  As it absorbs differently now.  Last time I had labs, my protein and my albumin were both great!
