abbyjo 1 Posted January 8, 2017 Have been in active afib for over a year.. Nothing worked to slow heart rate or give me regular Sinus rhythm. Having pace maker this Wednesday....Hope to get back on track. Feeling sorry for myself I went back to old habits. I am 4 years out and moved to an area that has limited bariatric surgery support groups. So how many calories, how many of those are carbs. Are Protein shakes etc. That are in the 'store' safe? Are they considered low carb...And the night. Sugar alcohols don't bother my digestive system....But they seem to make me not lose weight..Even if I make the bars a meal Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted January 9, 2017 If you buy premixed Protein shakes in the store make sure they have good Protein content and low sugar. Sugar alcohols should be O.K. It is much better than sugar. There are two phases after surgery. These are the Weight Loss phase and the Maintenance phase. At 4 years post-op, you are in the maintenance phase. The following article describes my experience with the maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
