Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Sherry, If you want to jump start that plateau start eating more fats and see what happens. Works for me everytime. eat fried chicken, eggs, bacon, sausage, butter, mayo.....even some chips!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Maybe it is because donuts also have a ton of fat in them? You know, with this surgery people will still lose weight even if they eat a bunch of sugar. What you won't be doing is a) maximizing your outcome and forming new, healthier habits for when your stomach finally does stretch out to a more reasonable size and weight loss slows/halts. I went in to this with an understanding that I was going to have to make some changes and do some of the work, too, that this surgery isn't just a cure-all for all my bad eating habits. Now, I believe that some indulgences should be allowed, but in a reasonable fashion otherwise I think I would be headed for certain doom because I can't and won't give *everything* up totally. As for the donuts, well I guess everyone's mileage will vary. I met one of Dr. Rabkin's patients in the hospital who at one year out is being revised for having lost too much weight. H*** yeah, I wish that would be me. Well, okay, not the revision part... but anyway, not everyone is going to have the same result. Amy Y.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2001 Report Share Posted July 18, 2001 Amy, He doesnt eat the donuts just becuz he likes them but becuz he discovered if he ate them they helped with the weight loss. He eats plenty of protein, fruit and veggies every day so its not like hes just living on donuts and things like that. Just that eating them has broken his plateaus and pushed the weight further down....however, even if they are loaded with fat, they dont work for me!
