What Should Be The Amount Of Protein Intake For Gastric Bypass Surgery With Muliple Kidney Stones?
I am waiting on insurance approval any day now for gastric bypass surgery. I was wondering about the amount of protein I will be consuming. I have had multiple kidney stones over the years while doing the "high protien diets' and wonder if this will cause me to have more kidney stones.

hai,
high protein diet will lead to kidney stones.(in certain condition)
if you are on high protein diet your hydration and renal output should be monitored. you should take more water around 4 to 5 liters of water.
because protein by product urea (uric acid-urates) will cause kidney stone.
kidney needs much high amount of water to excrete the protein by products. If the amount of water is less,then the urates like substances will deposit in the kidney,that cause formation of stones.
thank you
hope i answered your query.
