After Surgery Diet Plans?

I know that right after surgery, I will be on soft foods required because of the lap band. After I level out with my eating different types of foods, are we required to use a certain diet plan, or can we use our own? Myself, I like the atkins diet plan. It works for me and my family. I have not heard anyone say anything about using this diet plan. Just wondering if you are told not to use it for some reason, or most people just don't like it? Just wondering?

Must diet, but not to loose?

I was told by my nurse today, that I need to be on a strict diet, (recording all meals) for 90 days without loosing any weight. (Insurance requires this, not the Doctor) The only way I see to do this is to follow the diet, but eat on the side also. lol And who is this going to fool? The insurance Company? Maybe they think people will loose the weight and not get the much needed surgery. Thank God, my Nurse was kind enough to tell me not to loose, because I would have tried to loose as much
