Dr. Garth Davis - post WLS meal plan/nutrition?



Recommended Posts

I have become more and more interested in finding out what Dr. Garth Davis recommends (eating plan/daily nutritional goals) to his WLS patients after surgery. I have read his book, looked at his clinic's website and checked out the rebel dietitian (mentioned in his book). My NUT has very specific recommendations for the amount of Protein, carbs, calories I should have daily. Looking at the plant based Proteins - I am not sure it is possible to meet those expectations. I know that Dr. Davis states that we don't need as much protein but...

Would anyone who has had WLS surgery done by Dr. Davis or at his clinic be willing to share his nutritional recommendations and examples of meal plans?

TIA! Patricia

I would also love to know what his meal plan is like after reading about him. I have to wonder if anyone he treats would be on this forum since it's so different from what our surgeons are telling us.

So I guess I was right that no one on this forum was a patient and I bought his new book. Unfortunately, the eating plan is vegan even though his blog says you don't have to be to follow his advice. Not super helpful.

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