Hi Melanie89 I'm from England too, although I had my bypass surgery done privately in Europe. If you had yours in the UK then I suspect your post-op instructions are quite different to those from over the pond! I have a friend who had bypass surgery in UK and her plan was vastly different from mine even. Having said that, I do think that the American's have the edge here! The diet plan give to my friend from the Nuffield Hospital (surgery done by an NHS consultant and follow up the same as NHS) was not low carb, it had her eating bread, rice and Pasta pretty quickly after surgery and large volumes too! The Water and Protein first, low carbohydrate diet is definitely the way to go - and 1/2 cupful to start when you start eating solids. I know the advice is confusing and you can feel as if you're left in the dark, I know I did, but if you want to PM me, please do. I hope you continue your great start! Jude

I am from the UK too - I have PM'd you. I personally chose not to tell anyone, it's a personal decision.
