Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  JUST some information i wanted to share with my friends.... I thought this a very interesting information on our stomachs after surgery and how it functions and absorbs: Normal digestion involves chewing food in the mouth, where some simple sugar is absorbed, and an enzyme called amylase, which digests starch, is produced, and mixed with the food as it chewed. The food is swallowed, and in the stomach, it is mixed with hydrochloric acid, and enzymes pepsin, and lipase. The mixture is then churned together for one to two hours. The resulting mixture, called chyme, is then squirted, a little at a time into the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, where it is mixed with bile acids and pancreatic enzymes. The duodenum is where the absorption of most of the calcium, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and fat soluble vitamins A, D, and E takes place. Simple sugars, which include table sugar (sucrose), fruit sugars (fructose), honey, and maple syrup, and the digested starches, are absorbed all along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When we have gastric bypass surgery, or RnY, we bypass, or stop using, normal digestion, and skip over our duodenum, in favor of a tiny pouch, an always open stoma, and we introduce chewed food directly into the small intestine. The duodenum is the primary absorption site for protein, calcium, iron, zinc and vitamins A, B Complex, D, E. A large percentage of our magnesium is also absorbed in the duodenum, as well. These vital nutrients may be absorbed to some lesser degree further down the gut, but in much smaller amounts. Since we have so little, if any, digestion going on, the chance of any of these nutrients being absorbed from the food that we eat is very small. And since we eat such small amounts of food, even if we digested and absorbed all the nutrients from food, we would probably still be in trouble. SO get that protein in buddies hugzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | The average daily requirement for protein is 30 to 50 grams. To insure that you get that amount in, the minimum daily intake to be safe is 60-75 grams. With your changed plumbing, you should aim for the higher end of this number, as the rate you absorb is changed.
