HotButterFly 981 Posted August 1, 2013 I've read that people who have the sleeve (or is it the bypass?) can not eat fatty foods, or else they get the dumping syndrome... I'm wondering if anyone has flowed or IS currently following a high fat, moderate Protein, low carb (aka Atkins) diet, which I may add was the ONLY woe that ever worked for me in my struggles to lose weight.

DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted August 1, 2013 There is no dumping with the Lap Band. (one of the many reasons I chose it!) There are a lot of people on here who are on Atkins like diets with their bands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotButterFly 981 Posted August 1, 2013 Yeah, I know... No dumping but there IS being STUCK. I think I rather dump! LoL It's good to know I can follow that type of diet... I think (and have proven to myself) that its a healthy woe, regardless of the ney sayers. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wls123 1 Posted August 1, 2013 Sorry to butt in, I'm new to this forum and I would really appreciate some help. I for banded on 16/7 I had complications but am okay now. I'm getting obsessed about my pouch, I'm always so worried that I'm going to stretch it. I have no Fluid in my band, feel like I can eat a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
