Avillias 25 Posted October 15, 2012 I do, I wasn't losing weight but gaining weight so me and my Nut decided I needed to try something I knew how to do, well that was my words and she agreed so Now I eat healthy choice, smart ones, lean cusine, I can only eat a little more then half depending on how big that certain dinner is. But I dont think its making a difference I have dropped only a couple pounds in this last week since I started, if by the end of this week I don't lose anything I'm thinking about seeing my surgeon. Sorry I went on and on I'm just having a hard time with having this major surgery and very little weight loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lollyfidy1965 402 Posted October 15, 2012 I could eat them, but avoid them because most are loaded with simple starches (rice, noodles, potatoes, etc), and light on Protein. The salt content is also typically quite high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollirrose 249 Posted October 15, 2012 I ate them pre op all the time ... Now I keep my carbs below 40 and they dont work in my plan. When my carbs are high I am hungry, have cravings, and dont lose weight. You will deff lose weight with low calorie but you will lose weight quickly with low carb. I wanted to be at my goal weight yesterday so I am following the 600 to 800 calories/less then 40 carbs/more then 60 prot/min 64 oz Fluid. I know each doctor is diffrent and every nut has their own suggestion. I am a mexico sleever and didnt like my doctors post op plan. He basically didnt have restrictions on carbs or calories. I am followingg the eating plan that a lot of the successful vets on here used. It is working for me. I have lost 122 lbs in about 5 1/2 months! Best of luck to you. I hope you find a plan that works for you! 1 Avillias reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have similar eating plans (even though im not hitting each goal every day) and I was just wondering what your exercise is like if you don't mind my asking.
