Just a look at gastric bypass in other countries

[Romaina 3]

I'm from Argentina and I'm at a week after my gastric bypass.

It seems to my some of my experiences are a bit different mainly in the pre op / post op diet.

I started dieting pre op with the nutritionist in my surgery team almost 7 weeks before surgery. The first 3 weeks were a solid diet of high Protein low carb diet with no sugar or alcohol whatsoever. The 4th week it was alternating days of solid diets and liquid diet and the last three week just liquid diet. The liquid diet consisted of

Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee and milk (fat free) with the protein mixed in

Mid morning: 1 cup of sugar free yogurt

Lunch: 1 cup of Soup (low calories) + fruit shake (half a banana +milk) with protein added

Mid afternoon: the juice of 2 oranges

Afternoon : same as Breakfast

Dinner: same as lunch

All of this plus at least 2lts of Water

I lost 26 pounds before surgery.

I'm starting my 2nd week post op and during the first week it was just water, te, clear broth and sugar free Jello (of course with the vitamins). The goal was to get at least 2 lts of liquid consuming 1 cup in an hour.

Yesterday I was given the diet for the second week and it's kinda similar to the pre op liquid diet (with a but more powder protein added) with out the yogurt, orange juice and fruit shake (always adding the vitamins)

I have lost 15 pounds since surgery day and really feel soooo full all day that I don't even crave anything else.

I'll keep you posted on how thing progress!!
