Weight Loss Surgery Success Habits

Well, the prescribed 2-4 oz of meat is hardly an obsession when the average American is probably eating 8 oz of animal Protein at a meal.

meat at every meal (so the article says is recommended) seems a bit excessive, even if it's still less than the "average American" consumes.

However, to each their own. In the end nobody is forced to eat that much meat (or animal Protein in general).

Ah, gotcha. I am curious now why Dr. Mason finds "meat" superior to these other protein sources. My guess -- and this is completely my opinion -- is that because it stays in the pouch longer (he seems to emphasize delayed emptying of the pouch in his rules) as well, perhaps the higher Iron content.

There are quite a few points that i disagree with... eg waiting 2 hours after eating before drinking!.. you would never get your fluids in... it also states to drink Fluid rapidly... this causes pain for some people.

Also adding fruit to make up a quarter of a your plate... this wouldn't apply to diabetics... thats way to much for each meal.. way to many sugars

Yes! I was told 45 after eating to drink Water, take sips, eat slowly at meals, limit veggies in the beginning Smh many differences. I'm looking for the articles I read that support the new gold standards.

I think the difference is that you are describing guidelines for eating early after the surgery. For example, while drinking Water rapidly cannot be tolerated in the beginning, water loading as it is called, is widely recommended. I would love to see any guidelines that you can find.

Drink Water rapidly? This is so wrong.

It is commonly a recommended practice, but only for the mature pouch.
