RE: Response from my Dietician (Fluffylady9)

As to grams of protein, it's going to vary, depending on the doctor, and my

doctor said also depending on the length of intestine removed in the

surgery. I asked again on Monday as to how much, and the doc said 50-60. I

have the feeling that this is on the low end of what many on here have been

told. The doctors handbook addressed the protein need in that this

particular group removed the least quantity of intestine possible.

n, I've tried to pin-point carbs and sugars with the doctor and

dietician (which are in the same office), and they said don't worry about

it. Just stick to the guidelines as closely as possible, 1/2 protein, 1/4

fruit, 1/4 veggie, and an occasional carb (except no white bread, white

rice, or popcorn). I wanted to know what carbs or sugars would cause a

problem, but apparently that's individualized. So I just stick to a minimal

amount of carbs and sugars, and so far haven't had a problem. I am

interested though in a guideline, so will be watching what others have been

told.
