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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
