Many of the same questions are asked over and over, here's a one-stop source to some of them.

Good thinking, Photo. Here's hoping this topic stays high on the list.

Maybe the compilers of the list should add the question of smoking pot after surgery...if y'know what I mean.

Unfortunately the question of how many grams of Protein can be absorbed at once is already obsolete. The hteory that the body cannot absorb more than 30g at a time has been disproved.

You might be correct, but I would hope that an organization of almost 4000 members of the bariatric profession would publish the up to date medical information.

Unless the source of the food is extremely dense with Protein, a post WLS person won't be able to eat much more than 30g at a time.

Both my nutritionist and my support group dietitian both state the newest studies show that there is not a limit of 30g of protein anymore. Just saying...
