Protein Calculation After Gastric Sleeve Surgery
THE PROTEIN CONTENTS OF THE FOOD ARE STATED BELOW
1 glass of water broth/chicken broth soup (200 mL) :2.5 gr protein
1 glass of water of milk (200 mL): 6 gram protein
1 glass of water of yoghurt (200 mL): 6 gram protein
1 glass of water of ayran (yoghurt drink) (200 mL): 3 gr protein
1 egg: 6 gram protein
1 slice of cheese (30gram): 6 gram protein
1 meatball sized meat (30gram): 6 gram protein
1 meatball sized chicken (30gram): 6 gram protein
1 meatball sized fish (30gram): 6 gram protein
4 table spoon of dry legumes (30 gram): 6 gram protein
We would like to recommend you a protein powder, named PROTIFAR, which contains 2.2 gr protein in 1 measure cup (2.5 gram) 2.2 gr protein.
THE DAILY PROTEIN INTAKE OF THE PATIENTS, WHO HAD OBESITY SURGERY IS 60 GRAMS.
As it is seen, it is not possible to complete the 60 gram with a small stomach, after the surgery, especially during the first period of ther the surgery. It may harm your stomach, if you force yourselves to et this protein amount from your food.
DURING THE LIQUID PERIOD:
3 glasses of broth duing the main courses of meal - 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 gr protein
3 glasses of milk-yoghurt snacks- 3 x 6 = 18 gr protein
➕TOTAL: 26 GR PROTEIN
You will have 60-26= 34 gram protein missing from the daily amount.
One measure cup of PROTİFAR contains 2.2 gr protein. In order to complete the missing 34 gram;
We need 34÷2.2 = 15 measures of PROTIFAR.
You can mix this with yoghurt or milk at your snacks as measures of 5-5-5.
For example, if you drink one glass of milk as extra, you are going to take in 6 grams of protein as extra. This would be equal to 2-3 measures of protifar. When you drink extra milk you may use 12-13 measures of profitar instead of 15 measures.
DURING THE PUREE PERIOD:
As egg, minced meat, cheese would be free to eat now, the need for the protein powder would be less.
For example:
1 egg and 1 slice of cheese at the breakfast: 6+6 = 12 gr protein
Lunch - dinner total 1 meatball sized meat = 6 gr protein
Total 3 glasses of milk - yoghurt at snacks = 18 gr protein
➕TOTAL 36 gr protein is taken from the consumed food.
✔60-36 = 24 gr is needed as extra to complete the daily amount.
One measure cup of PROTIFAR contains 2.2 gr protein. In order to complete the missing 24 gram;
We need 24÷2.2 = 10 measures of PROTIFAR.
You may mix this to milk and yoghurt at your snacks as measures of 3-3-4.
DURING THE SOLID PERIOD:
For example:
1 egg and 1 slice of cheese at the breakfast: 6+6 = 12 gr protein
Lunch - dinner total 3 meatball sized meat = 18 gr protein
Total 3 glasses of milk - yoghurt at snacks = 18 gr protein
➕TOTAL 48 gr protein is taken from the consumed food.
✔60-48 = 12 gr is needed as extra to complete the daily amount.
One measure cup of PROTIFAR contains 2.2 gr protein. In order to complete the missing 12 gram;
We need 12÷2.2 = 6 measures of PROTIFAR.
You may mix this to milk and yoghurt at your snacks as measures of 2-2-2.
AS A RESULT, WE DECREASE OUR NEED FOR EXTRA PROTEIN, BY GOIND DOWN FROM 15 MEASURES TO 6 MEASURES, FROM THE FIRST PERIOD TO THE SOLID PERIOD.
