RE: Vita4Life - Important question ?

[Guest guest]

I was looking at my discharge papers and it does list Vita4life as an option...I

don't know why they don't...just like they all give different protein amts to

eat, take different things out in surgery etc.

My surgeon prefers we get our protein from natural foods. I tend to agree

with him. Some of these protein liquids are nasty tasting such as the Cher

Amino and only yields 15 grams of protein per tablespoon. Id much rather

eat a couple of scrambled eggs with bacon than sip that stuff for more

protein!

Vita4Life supplements were designed for people who had the RNY.

Their needs are diffrent because of the tiny stomach, differing

lengths of what we call " common channel " and lack of duodenum remnant

where some absorption happens.

Ergo, they contain *more* than what we need. The owner of the company

is a self taught RNY post op. She certainly has gained expertise.

She also adamantly opposes the DS. Dr Fox in Tacoma WA was her RNY

surgeon.
