Hello! I was wondering if anyone followed any specific diets after surgery like Atkins or South Beach or The Spark? I am trying to figure out what I want to do after the surgery. Thanks! :thumbup:

didn't they give you guidelines and recommendations?

Here is one, but check with your doctor:

Most surgeons will give you a guideline to follow during your losing stage, and then adjust it as needed as you get close to goal. My nutritionist and I speak every couple of months just to touch base, and make sure I am staying on track with my maintenance program.

My surgeon/nutritionist gave me a set of guidelines to follow.

Daily recommendations.

60 grams of Protein (minimum)

no more than 30 grams of carbs

600-800 calories

no guideline for fat grams

64+ounces of clear fluids
