Diet Question



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am two weeks post op and am trying to figure out what kind of a permenant diet to be on once my post op is over. I am wondering if most of you eat fruits with carbs and other carbs ? I loose weight like crazy when doing low carb, the Atkins has been my only sucess in weight loss before my band but unfortunately I gained it all back and more once I started to eat lots of carbs again. I know my body and it works for me to do low carb but is it save for long term with a band or would I gain it back someday ? I am wondering if I should eat a variety of food , loose slower but still feel my carb addiction , just to be able to have variety. I know with a band it will still be hard for me to do that , its a real thing that really exsists with me. When on low carb I sleep all night with a weight watchers type diet I wake in the night wanting food feeling shaky until I get up and have a coupe crackers. Is there anyone that eats a reagular low carb diet ? Maybe a low carb , low fat would be good for met to do. I had a hard time when meeting with the nutritionist about so many servings of grain and carbs I dread it, I know I will crave more. Anyway sorry for rambling but as I get closer to regular food I want to do the right thing. Thanks so much Kimhappy.gif

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
