hey guys in this video we’re going to

talk about the nutritional deficiencies

from gastric bypass now when they do

gastric bypass they bring your stomach

lining or surface area down to ten

percent of what it should be so thereby

automatically putting you in a situation

where you’re not absorbing as many

nutrients not just from the stomach but

from the small intestine so we’re going

to go through and just talk about that

but you know they talk about gastric

bypass is a healthy thing because

they’re going to go off the calorie

reduction but unfortunately comes with a

package number one your calcium levels

are going to usually be low and the

problem with that is that this if you

don’t have enough acid in your stomach

because you’re only operating off of a

smaller pouch then it’s really hard to

absorb calcium especially any type of

Gaussian carbonate it’s almost

impossible so you might have to get this

in an ion form and electrolyte powder

that dissolves but the point is that

calcium needs an acid stomach to be

absorbed okay number two iron

deficiencies well the same thing the pH

in the stomach should be acid to absorb

some of the bigger minerals iron calcium

magnesium potassium things like that so

when you’re deficient in iron you get

brittle nails you also get with called

pica which is craving ice or clay or

ashes or you know some other you know

something of the earth you start like

liking the eat dirt

so that’s an iron deficiency not

everyone gets that but that could happen

and then decrease zinc in the body or

other trace minerals so zinc is a trace

mineral and so are other minerals like

selenium and iodine and manganese and

all these trace minerals are needed to

build the enzyme structures to digest

protein and have all sorts of chemical

reactions in the body but specifically

to build body protein that’s like a real

important thing so if we don’t have

enough zinc you start getting you know

acne white spots on the nail

they’re also hair loss now white spots

in the nail are not necessarily only

coming from gastric bypass it could come

when you ate a lot of sugar which

depleted your zinc that’s another cause

but the trace minerals are that you’re

just having a deficiency of trace

minerals so we have a lot of issues with

that and in vitamin b1 so you don’t

absorb b1 and you don’t get the full b1

so your stress level might go up you

might have sleeping issues memory issues

that’s a b1 deficiency and also vitamin

b1 is necessary for neurological

development even the ocular muscles of

the eye so if you were to have someone

you probably see this if someone looks

this way and one eye goes this way one

eye goes this way that’s a vitamin b1

deficiency okay like the eyes if they’re

not in coordination and then b12 that’s

anemia that’s chronic fatigue syndrome

that’s neurological issues it just goes

on and on and then protein in general so

you don’t get the full absorption and

digestion and assimilation of amino

acids so there goes the

neurotransmitters those your mood your

hormones and then your collagen of your

skin the ligaments the tendons I mean

here you are losing this weight but how

are you going to get the toned muscles

or a little bit the skin that’s sagging

off your body and then we have fats I

love items because in order for the

gallbladder to release you need these

other organs in place to all work in

coordination so without it up bile

you can’t pull in vitamin A d ek2 and

that leads to a whole chain reactions of

things with the vision problem

especially at night the skin might dry

out vitamin D is calcium bone pain

vitamin E is heart hormones and vitamin

k2 is calcium extraction from the body

and putting it drives it into the bone

so you might have a problem with some

thinning of the bones and also

calcification of joints in the arteries

other than at you’d be fine and then we

have folate which is really an

interesting vitamin that has a lot to do

with an enzyme

that helps in in a lot of different

functions proteins and also blood sugars

and digestion and insects

neurotransmitters and so you might get

depressed just from having this one

deficiency right here so you’re going to

have to just be very aware of what’s

going on your body and take some of

these nutrients in forms that absorb

easily you might get dissolvable trace

minerals and minerals okay and you might

have to get certain V vitamins like in

the nutritional yeast I think that would

be a good thing the problem you’re going

to run into is trying to find something

natural because most people take

synthetics socially that comes in the

liquid and they don’t really realize

that synthetics are very different than

food based or natural ones so they might

get the synthetic version which doesn’t

really act the same is the natural food

base in the complexes so I’ve put a

couple links down below of some ideas if

you have a situation so my good idea is

that you can look at to start taking

some real nutrition that you will be

able to absorb to minimize the damage

from that but unfortunately what they’re

recommending when you get gastric bypass

is usually some shake that filled with

synthetics and chemicals and a bunch of

other crap that you don’t need so you

need a higher level of like a quality

type thing all right all right so I hope

that helps and thank you so much for
