I am 34 year old male 6 ft 305 pounds I was wanting to find out if I can use a post op diet and force myself to follow it to lose weight or will this throw my body into a funk. Just not sure if something is changed during surgery that keeps ur body from going into starvation mode I need to do something but I am uninsured and don't really have the assets to self pay nobody in my area has in house payment plans
