Re: Can you still diet after the Surgery

[Guest guest]

i would think that if we just stayed on the foods we're allowed and are good

for us we wouldn't need to be on an Atkins or Southbeach diet. Our portions

is what got is into trouble before, as well as the sugars and carbs. If we

stay on a high protein low carb diet we should be fine. am i that wrong in my

thinking?

I loosely try to follow a low carb lifestyle anyway. You can always

follow Atkins but not incorporate fried foods etc.

You will find that plateaus come more frequently now but if you up

your exercise and protein drinks and lower your sugar and carbs you

will again start to lose once your body is ready to let go again.

I have been on a few such plateaus myself so far. That is just the

way my body loses weight I guess

If you're eating sweets and fried food it may be reversing because

of non compliance with the rules that go along with this surgery.

What meal sizes are you eating? Besides the fact that a post RNY

diet IS almost like an Atkins in a way to begin with only less food

and more healthy protein sources...

South Beach is a more realistic way to live, Atkins doesn't focus

enough on fat, solely on carbs, but focusing on reducing carbs (and

only having whole grains when you do have them) and cutting back on

fat and sugar is a winning combination. II did Atkins and S. Beach

before and still do S. Beach since surgery. You can plateau on any

diet, just keeping with it, exercising and staying positive are the

best things. Good luck !

that's the thing I dont want to start the Atkins diet because I dont eat fried

foods and

cheese and Very seldom sweets and my portions a still small. Dont get me wrong

I'm

dong things good I just was curious because the atkins diet has alot of foods we

cant

eat and i was concerned if it would work for gastric pypass patients. I dont

think it

would but I was only wondering if anyone else had input. thank you for yours.

Nope, and for the most part that's South Beach , funny thing about

it. Main thing is healthy choices, focus on protein and when you do

choose carbs choose healthy ones. I make a South Beach cheesecake with

reduced fat ricotta cheese and let me tell you I'm missing nothing! Not

to mention all of the healthy choices available at restaurants today. I

even heard on the radio this morning that vending machine companies are

coming up with healthy alternatives.
