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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
