what is the best advice to loosing weight fast after surgery or what diet helped u loose weight quick im talking about 1 years worth?



Recommended Posts

if you get the lap band, a diet is un-necessary

just eat your allotted amount of good quality foods and exercise, and the inches/weight should steadily come off. that is how i am doing it. no tricks, no gimmicks, just doing what i have been advised to do.

Your question is a little confusing. There is no particular diet ith the band... Have to spoken to your dr about getting banded yet?

I followed the doctors instructions, but was on liquids 3 week, then straight to soft foods. It seems every practice has its own regime. You should get details before or immediately after surgery!

YES, by all means stick to what your Dr has set for you. That's what everyone should do. You'll do very well by following the Drs advice.

Have you checked in with your bariatric surgeon or maybe talk with a nutritionist? When you say 2.5 is that cc's in your band? If it is what size band do you have?

The people that appear to lose really fast to me always seem to be low carbers, or those really strict on the Protein first thing.

Personally, I'd rather lose slower, lol.

But what really worked to keep it coming off for me was running - an hour six or seven days a week. I dont do quite so much cardio now, more mixed up and spaced out with things like circuit training and gym work. But to shed fat when you've got lots of it, running really works.

I'm a Protein girl. I eat carbs just enough to not pull my hair out (that falls out on its own anyway) and if you stick to 3 meals a day you should shed weight fast enough.. I get crap for loosing too much too fast but it works for me. I learned a 10 to one plan that always keeps me at about 1000 calories and 100 grams of protein.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
