Abstract :

The macro and micronutrients deficiency contribute to the appearance of clinical signs (PEDROSA, 2009). This study aims to quantify the protein, zinc and selenium intake from food, in one year of postoperative Y-en-Roux Gastric Bypass. The sample consisted of 95 patients, 84 (88.4%) women and 11 men (11.6%) with a mean age of 46 (20 to 64) years. Three months after surgery (n=92), the intake of protein, zinc and selenium were: 43.4±12.2 g/day, 7.97±3 mcg/day, 8.06 (0 to 32.24) mg/ day, respectively. In six months (n=88), the values were: 48.13 (20.87 to 113.61) g/day of protein, 10.59 (0.21 to 21.30) mg/ day of zinc and 3.57 (0 to 38.66) mcg/day of selenium intake. In twelve months (n=95), the intake was 51.28±13.92 g/day of protein, 9.61 (1.83 to 15.18) mg/day of zinc and 5.58 (0 to 28.96) mcg/day of selenium. As regards protein intake, was lower than the recommendation (min 60 g/day). The consumption of zinc and selenium varied in the three periods. With 12 months of zinc consumption was adequate (6.8 to 9.4 mg/day). However, the selenium intake was below the recommendations set (45 mcg/day). It is concluded that after surgery, in addition to balanced diet orientation, should be encouraged use of protein supplements, vitamins and minerals.
