Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 Okay, okay..... let us know if you get weak and cannot carry a gallon of milk up the stairs and have gained weight due to your body starving, and have flabby muscles because of muscle wasting from lack of protein. Not to offend, just a great concern, because believe I have BEEN there!!! B Distal RNY 12/95 Recovering from protein malnutrition and anemia for the past three months off work.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 , Hi! Were you actually diagnosed as having a stretched stoma? You didn't say if you were doing any protein supplementation or not. I " m assuming not. At month 6 postop, the weightloss came to a screeching hault for me as well. I think I had lost around 85-90 lbs at that point. I was about 50 lbs from goal and not budging. I Did not lose any weight until month 10 when I began to do protein supplementation. Now, at 16 months post op, I am sitting nicely at goal. I attribute it all to being led to the truth of Protein Supplementation. Within 10 days of doing 3 shakes per day, My hairloss stopped completely, bruising went away, fatigue was gone, and I had lost 13 lbs..after months of no loss. I truly believe that I would have shut down my " tool " had I not began the protein supps. Give it a try..What can it hurt? Much love, Shelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
