I am new to this site but i was banded June 2009. I have had a very slow weight loss journey, have lost about 50 pds, no gains. My mom became very sick in 2008 - 2009 and I was depressed and did not focus on eating right, taking the Vitamins, or the Protein. Just had blood work done with my regular doctor and the results came back: protein in urine and anemic. I meet with her this week and have been very worried. I have not kept up with the protein, i can not eat much meat and hate whey protein (and the other protein drinks) and i was not taking vitamins on a regular basis. Has anyone else had protein in urine and been told they are anemic. I have been feeling exhausted and horrible. I started taking all the vitamins a week ago, see my doc thurs, and i am going to force myself to drink protein starting today. AND....my dentist said my two front teeth are decaying and i have tiny cracks in them. i have never had teeth issues in my entire life, not even cavities. I guess all these issues are a result of not eating right, no vitamins, and not enough protein. Has anyone else had these issues???? suggestions are needed. thanks!!!

Yes, I have had protein in my urine but mine was due to a certain type of birth control pill I was on. I stopped taking them and problem solved. I was anemic because I don't like too much meat and survived off of carbs mostly. I have increased my protein intake but it's still a struggle to eat all of my meat first. I eat mostly white meat and fish.

talk to your doc about taking supplemental iron, calcium with vit D and B12 . Good luck and keep us informed.

Protein in the urine can be an indication of chronic kidney disease. There are a number of diseases (e.g. diabetes, hypertension) that can cause the kidneys to fail over time. Your doctor should be looking for causes.
