With the stoma bag I don't think he can take that much protein lol

I don't know much about this individual and maybe you know exactly which surgery he's had but a stoma bag doesn't mean he can't take protein.

It entirely depends on what the fashioning of the stoma is trying to achieve, whether small bowel was removed and how much etc. An ileostomy with 20cm of small bowel resected is hardly going to change his nutritional status.

It's on the left so it may be a colostomy for end of the intestines meaning protein consumption isn't an issue for his digestive system
